Who, the neo-luddites of Retrobike?

All bikes with >63mm travel are thrown in the village pond, if they float they're burned as Witches, if they sink they were probably Witches anyway and we're all well rid...

Yeah, Joe rode one down the steep steps at our local train station underpass, was quite impressed actually. More than the teenagers he nearly ran over at the bottom that wernt expecting to see a Joe as they turned the corner.

Yepp.

A Dialled PA. It was actually a great fun bike. Not as bad in singletrack as you might think with 5" out front, and absolute fun downhill or in the rough.
Makes more sense when you have tried it as still quick off the mark. I can it works in a lot of places, though not reound the local XC course


Amazingly good bike for the money. Not really sure why I sold it :?
Frame was a bit heavy, but nothing on an old FRO
