Re: And do I remember correctly, that you went off on a round-the-world trip with a Bickerton and telescopic nunchaku? How did that go?

Re: Re: We may have been 'relegated' to the kerbside - but it was only on good days. Anyway, it looks like Norman had you locked in there! And yes, it's me in the photos. I'm a lot older/balder/fatter/uglier now. And I think the other guy in the photo is Dave, Norman's (half-) brother.

Tom Ritchey again More photos of the TR from a contact sheet.

Norman Hiller's Tom Ritchey Possibly the first mountain bike in the UK?

Re: Re: Another pic of CGC. Not off-topic as it was Norman, of course, who brought possibly the first mountain bike to the UK.

Re: Lea Valley? Here's a picture from that very first event (I think).

If you don't sell them they have no value...

Re: Re: Maybe so, but Norman Hiller brought one back from California himself after a holiday there. It might have pre-dated the one shown on the magazine but I didn't submit my 'off-road test' article and photos until March. I can't remember which magazine published it.

Re: Found a contact sheet with a few more pix.

Good, 'cos I wasn't about to sell them :mrgreen:

Which is...? Those pedals are awful - all the screws are in different orientations! :lol:

Re: Found another old photo from Tokyo.

Re: Found some photos of what I think is the first Wendover bash. One of them shows Richard Ballantine, and a couple of Norman Hiller. Photos are of the downhill ride, gradient shown by the angle the people are standing in the last photo.

Re: Had the Cinelli pedals on my Cygnus for a while. A very short while as they weren't too practical for use on London roads!
