yep, i remember that! really cool!

the euro racers have very closed minds to change though, a guy raced for our shop team a couple of years ago and insisted on using certain products, while not really being a problem, there were times when you new something was better for him but he refused to try it because it wasn't what he had before. i should say he was english but had lived and rode as his main income in belgium for over 10 years including marrying a belgiun lady. did very well over the years aswel.

so i can understand why this never saw the light of day again! if he'd have won the race i think it would have been a different story.

Erm, this is also being discussed in the Road Bike Forum.

28lbs :shock:

The thought of racing an MTB that weighed that much horrifies me!

Paris Roubaix - always sorted the men from the boys.

A proper hardcore road race. Used to love reading the write up in Cycling Weekly, and seeing the riders covered in mud used to always make me smile!

Boulder made a bouncy road bike as well.

Can't find any pics anywhere though!
