Random Loft Finds....

After the Peaks ride all I felt able to do this afternoon was nurse my (numerous) wounds and carry on with 'Operation Tidy the Loft'. Guess what I found? If anyone wants scans of the catalogues (I haven't checked to see if they are in the archives yet), just ask and I will crank up the scanner:

Both are 1991.

Finally, (for now) something from the dim and distant past. Bikeshopowner and I were only recalling this company last week and it appears in the loft. Let's hear it for 'Charlie'.

Crikey is that any alpinestars catalogue? Any chance of a scan of it?

Nice finds BTW

Forgot all about those – they were all the rage when I first started riding, along with a full-length top tube pad (basically a bit of pipe lagging covered in fluro yellow nylon)

I used to have one of those old Local Motion frame bags on my first-ever mountain bike. Think I sold it along with the bike, wish I hadn't it was really quite handy. Made shouldering the old beast a bit more comfy too.

Think I might keep an eye open for one of these

Trouble is, the rigid parts that go against the frame seem to have very retro geometry as the basis of their design. It fitted my first MTB, a huge Dawes Wildcat from 1986/7, but wouldn't fit my 1990 Saracen.
