MBUK, 92/93 with light builds article?

[brocklanders023]

Can anyone remember the 92/93 era MBUK with an article about building light weight bikes that featured an Orange Prestige? Think it was a special, possible summer 92? Think I still have it but don't know where it is!

I have a feeling someone posted it up on here a while back so would appreciate it if they could do again as I'm considering a replica.

Hi all. Was looking through Easy_riders scans he had listed. Regretably, none of the links work anymore. There's nothing more disappointing when you look through a thread and the pictures no longer appear due to image hosting issues. Fortunately, I've never used Photo hosting sites so a lot of...

Just read that......what did happen to 1.5" tyres. I had them on the front and 1.75" on the rear of my team marin ( farmer somebody's relative). Infact, i cant get anything over 2" in one of my 80s frames! 1.95" is just do-able.

I know they are producing new 2.1 tyres ( the guys sponsoring the may botm), and several others, but surely for a truly retro tyre they need narrower sizes.

I dont recall ever seeing anything over 1.95" as a kid...that was huge!.

Just sold on some wheels with this on. My gravel bike tyres are wider!! Pretty sure 1.95 was standard for me bitd.

Summer 93 I think - I have that particular edition to hand - reading it last week
The Stif workshop guys did a lightweight build - does that sound right?

Yeah Carge, it's the one linked above. Now trying to decide if I fit Suntour to the incoming Prestige......
