Being the newby, here is a small introduction. I got the MTB bug in 92 when I bought my first Giant Coldrock, which got stolen after a week... I then bought another Coldrock and then went on a 1200 km bike trip with some friends.
Then in 93 I bought a Marin Rocky Ridge which I then took to a trip in Engelberg, Switzerland. A trip I won't forget since I wiped out during a decend during some rain, breaking my jaw and some teeth too....the bike however, didn't have a scratch.
By that time I met Bike Pride of Europe which was a mail order company close to my town supplying the most beautiful bike jewelry you could think of.
I then bought the bike I still own: (out of the top of my head)
GT Zaskar LE
Shimano XT front and rear shift
TNT Ti front and rear hubs, on mavic (fr) and Campagnolo (re) rim 32 H
Footwork frontbrake,
Magura HS22 rear
Chris King No-thread set 11/8
Marzocchi XC500 front shox
Answer Handlebars
White Brothers Ti Bottombracket
Cook Bros crank
Onza HO Ti pedals
Control Tech Post
Control Tech Stem
Flite
The bike has been following me around after my many relocations and moves and is now safe and secure resting on the attic. Unfortunately the rear hub need replacing and therefor the bike has not been used for a while, but this might change very very soon....
Pictures might follow.....
