Hi
I'm Ben from New Zealand. Started MTBing in about '88 on a Kalahari record but quickly went thru a few bikes - KHS Montana pro and DB Apex. Went overseas in 93 and ended up at yellow jersey Camden where I got Greg (Fuquay) to build me a lovely custom frame which is still going strong. Other than that I've got a 70's raleigh road bike (the orange ones - 531) which is now kind of a cross bike. A late 80's 653 (like the white pearlescent ones Fignon rode) that has been resprayed as a TVM Gazelle and also a late 90's Bianchi TSX-UL which hardly ever sees the light of day.
My buddy Derek however is a freak - I'll try and get him to post his incredible list of retro off road bikes here
