Thread delivers!

As here as well - viewtopic.php?f=1&t=369691 Now, I know they existed, but can I find photos of them? Hell no. Ridgeback made a series of bouncy bikes in the late 90s with names like Cooler King and Mr White. Anyone else remember them? They handled like pigs on stilts. Do any photos exist?

Seriously? No one?

Re: A few of my spots. Newbury town centre. Downtown Bozeman, MT. Also in Bozeman, The Gear Wizard; And...pretty sure this is the same Kirk as seen earlier in the thread;

Checker Pig. Bouncy, bouncy!

They were on very early Evans/Saracen, I believe. The brothers were the Stanforths and they screwed the brand sideways. Ruined it. Oddly, one of their sons is now churning out this stuff; Which looks to me like someone is trying to pre-empt the hipsters moving from fixies to MTB!

Be sure to find time to visit The Gear Wizard. http://thegearwizard.com/ Stumbled upon this place after a simply brilliant day's skiing at Bridger Bowl, and it was like an Alladin's Cave of retroness! So much loveliness in one place! Gleaming old Kleins, some original Jim Blackburn racks...

As posted elsewhere, and spotted in my LBS the other day...

The combination of the wishbone and that fork has always been of my faves from the Saracen back catalogue. That green was stunning as well, BITD, simply stunning.

One of those "Did anyone actually buy any of these?" moments...!

Spotted in the LBS workshop the other day... [/url]

:wink: Get on with it! :-)

I had one of those... If it has Profile Durango bars, it's mine. (Was stolen after I gave it away, still regret both parts of that.)

Checker Pig. [/thread]
