retro bragging rights...

i have a bin with more retro stickers on it than i care to imagine (well i did start collecting then when i was 13 or so!)
 
Met Tim Gould a couple of times. David Baker,Gary Fisher wow!, Missey Giove. Not seen Paul Hinton since he left Saracen.
See Adrien Carter pretty regular though.
 
I chatted to Paul Hinton coming back from Plymouth at a service station. He wanted to know who won. I was still riding my '91 Attitude so it could be some years back. Met Jeff Smith (twice world motocross champion in the 60s), he signed a book on classic scrambles bikes for me.
Rode malvern hills classics back in '89, '90.
 
carried 40lb plus steel falcon(1985ish) up the old man of conniston when mountain bikes were seen as a passing fad, old fella well up there on way down offered me £20 for it, waS SORLEY TEMPTED AT TIME.
 
I worked in the NWMTB centre as a kid and met a fair few people through that, best memory would be building up shop bikes with the late and great JMC though!
