Hi all
Surfed the site for a while and finally joined. Some of the bikes on here bring back great memories! Not biked for a few years but thinking of getting back into it.
I started mountianbiking in 1985 when I was 15 and my first bike was a Saracen Conquest (Deore XT stuff).
My bikes were:
Saracen Conquest (1985 stolen)
Specialized Stumpjumper Comp (1986/7 ish)
Diamondback Axis (aluminium frame 1987/8 ish)
Chas Roberts cutom built White Spyder (1989)
Long lay off until about 1994 when I bought a Saracen Killi Comp (tange frame).
Speacialised Rockhopper Pro (Disc) 1999?
My brother used to write for Bicycle magazine and was a designer at Muddy For for a while. He spent a summer in Cal working for Tom Richey in the late 1980s and met a lot of the 'legends' including Joe Cunningham.
I recently found and original (cica 1984/5) Muddy Fox Pathfinder frame in the loft at my parents!
In the mid to late 1980s Firends and my brother had bikes such as:
Claude Buttler Canyon
Muddy Fox Explorer
Muddy Fox Monarch
Madision Ridgeback!
Dawes Ranger etc.
I have pics somehwere and will try and scan them in and post them.
Cheers
