    Tracking down a giant mtb

    I'm trying to find a bike I remember my dad having. It was a giant mtb in a green with a hint of the aqua side to it with oversized tubing, must have been around the mid 90s if memory serves, anyone got any ideas or could point me to some old catalogues to trawl through? I'd be very appreciative.

    So today Elsie the Elswick (yes its been named) arrived at home. She's an Elswick turbo 12 in brown, think late 70s or early 80s. I've been flip flopping about with ideas of what to do but basically it's going to be used for a commuter during the better weather for a bit of fun and a change...
