A School Project from December 1992

[retroJIM]

This morning I was sorting out the loft and came across some of my old School work. A project on Mountain Bikes from 1992! I wonder how much of it was plagiarised from MBUK.

Anyway it gave me a good laugh, especially the bit where I state I ride with accomplished riders .

I can't remember what grade I got.

Holy shit.

I wouldn't be able to pull off work to that standard and detail at 38, nevermind whatever the hell age you were when you made this!

Epic.

Poor old WTR didn't do well! Clearly e-stays and full sus was what you guys wanted at that time

I wonder how you managed to score performance, did you have these three bikes?!

Proper job from the days before word processors. "A" for you I think!

WTR would be my choice now, but back then full sus and e-stays were cooler

Alas only in my dreams. We all rode rigid bikes. Sadly lost touch with the people I rode with back then, I can't even remember some of their names but I can remember their bikes. I'm not sure what that says about me

Diamond Back Apex
Diamond Back Ascent
GT Avalanche
GT Timberline
Kona Cindercone
Kona Lavadome
Marin Bear Valley
Canondale something or other

I think I can remember the names and bikes of my old riding comrades. Can't remember what happened in a book I read 2 months ago though!
