Soo ugly aesthetically but such an iconic piece of history in mountainbiking!! As i'm a long time mountainbiker myself but i still can't believe John did some "hands down in in the dropbar" downhill on this bike! :cool: :cool:

IIRC he chose to ride drops because he was doing a lot of road cycling at the time and wanted to keep the position the same on the MTB as well.

Great pics, I can't believe he was that quick as well, those forks must have had all of about 1.5/2 inches of travel too!
