Back in the saddle MBK Tracker 1989

[OldFrank]

hhh, shoulder pads, I still have a pair of luminous ..

Got a pic? I think the tracker had a strap rather than pad. Would be nice to get one, just for authenticity

Time to start another build, anyone want to make me an offer on this?

Oh my god, i had forgotton all about the MBK bikes, and i am certain this is the same one my friend had BITD. We used to worship him for owning this bike.. his one was a lot smaller mind, but still brings back memories!!

That's the second comment about size. I guess i'd better go measure it. It doesn't seem that big

Just acquired this which I presume is from 1989 as it’s full Deore II (with XT headset).

Seems to be all original apart from the tyres.




21”, but with a sloping top tube more like a 23” equivalent (if tt was horizontal).

Now with added mudguards and bell!

Useful 'town bike' with quality equipment.

Very very rare that. I know someone that would pay decent money for that as he had one as a teen and regrets selling.
