IDEA: Retrobike Top Trumps........anyone?

[CTK]

I've often thought that Snooker players would make good top trumps.

Long Potting
Break Building
Temprement
Tournament Wins
etc

Retro Bikes good too in fact didn't MBR do this recently- once a month?
Would it be pictures from catalogues or would it include restored classics?

Anyway possible categories

RRP (Highest wins)
Year (Earliest wins)
Weight (Lowest wins etc)
Amount of anodized parts?
Campagnolo/Sachs/Shimano/Mavic/Suntour (who wins I don't know)
Rarity
Number of builders/ workers in factory ie Dave Yates 1, Grove Innovations 5, Fat Chance 10?, Stumpjumper 100+?
ummm?

If you make em I'll buy some!

I like your idea! Last summer my girl bought me a 1995 Super Trumpf mountain bike card game off the flea market.
I wanted to scan it for a long time so everybody here can enjoy.
Actually i found it on the web.
Here you go:

Maybe thats a good inspiration for your project.

You could have 'Beer Tent Factor'

This is the reaction you would get if you propped it against the side of a beer tent at a big race or gathering. It could be a real wildcard. A Yeti ultimate covered in 3DV and a disk drive wheel would score highly but so would a rusting 23" Raleigh Mustang as its a bike many people started out on.

MBR magazine did a similar thing before the relationship with RB developed.

I assume that's after an extended visit to the beer tent...

This is a belting idea imo. Hope it gets further than just chat!

How about a WDS factor? That way even the crap bikes have a chance

Stupidly verblinged factor for the Kona Hanahanas and Fire Mountains with Ringle and XTR bits nailed on?

Please enlighten me, if it's not too rude to put into print :!:.
