THROWBACK THURSDAY: 1994 DURANGO BIKE WORKS 8X8 - Mountain Bike Action Magazine

In the first mile, two things became obvious: it was going to take a lot of velocity and a very big launch ramp to turn the Rupe-cycle into an airplane.

The only one is existence apparently?

What happened to the 8×8?

I sold the bike, and I regretted it ever since. I only made one of them. And, I remember the time I didn’t want to sell it. But, I had a guy call me from Italy because he saw it in Mountain Bike Action. He said I want one of these things, so the guy flew over here and I sold it to him. I have no idea what happened to this guy or the bike. He’s not on Facebook or anything. He told me that he worked in a sausage factory. My friends used to joke that he really worked for Bianchi, but I don’t really know.
