no way!
your bike sparked a little debate, when i was out on my DH bike a few weeks later, about how, if you go to a DH race you dont see any bikes older than say, 3years being ridden, but the beauty of XC, if it gets you round the course then fair play!
goes to show, my XC race bike is only worth £500, but my DH bike, well..
oh but i love my retro bike the most . when its built!
