I had 2 pairs of those original M100 shoes then when the 2nd pair died, I could find nothing in the (then) current range of Shimano shoes that didn't look utterly ridiculous on you when you were off the bike. Was a shame because I felt that their shoes fitted me really well. Finally Shimano...

I have a pair of those socks too! Oh and also found about 6 sets of Mint Sauce stickers whilst sorting through some of my old bike stuff. I may just scan them in and post them up sometime.

I am really liking that Plug :shock:

I know the event was cancelled the following year but have no idea if they started doing them again.

Seriously liking that!

Bought this one some time in the early 90s. Paid the deposit then had to wait 3 months for it to be built. Rode it for a year and ended up selling it as it wasn't particularly practical (though amazing on ice!) Really need a garage to store it in. Got more than I paid for it as the retail on...

Pic was taken by me at the 1994 Malverns (the one where someone got stabbed) The forks I find particularly interesting :wink:

Haven't done the whole catalogue as I didn't want to send anyone to sleep - if you have any requests that you think might be in there and want to see a scan, feel free to ask. First off GT... Rock Shox Syncros

Just found a Caratti sport catalogue from 95 with these in it £167.95 :shock:

I just found my 1996 calendar!!! :D Anyone want to see that one aswell?

Owned this for about a year after owning my Windcheetah. Very light for sure but didn't compete on it or anything. I just bought it because I liked the way it looked. Replaced the drop bars with some lo pro ones soon after the pic was taken which helped the riding position somewhat!

:shock: Was there an issue with these bikes then? Have to say that aesthetically, it was one of my all time favourite designs though never did get round to getting one mostly due to cost / weight.

Just found this so I thought I'd scan it for your delight! Cover January February March April May June July August September October November December Back 1 Back 2 Enjoy!

I believe the fork on the front of the Merlin is based on the Vector fork used by Proflex only this one was made out of titanium of course.

Frame was steel but nickel plated. In the end I felt it was too big for me so I sold / part exchanged it to buy the Torus frameset. Nice bike though. Whilst I was picking up the new frame though I did spot one of these... Full suspension Manitou. Still think it's a work of art 8)
