Retro Rentals - wishlist ideas?

[cocodemer]

Howdy

I run a mountain bike hire centre and am considering offering some top notch high end retro beauties from back in the day for a days nostalgic rental riding. Has anyone got any ideas for what you might consider to be must haves for the stable?

From my own memories:
Im thinking about something tasty from Pace
Orange Alu Elite
Klein Attitude
Kona Explosif

If anyone fancies suggesting a few, i might run a little poll. Would anyone consider hiring some retro niceness if the option was available?


Cheers
Col

great idea.

i'd love to see what all the fuss is about and ride a fat chance yo eddy

and an amp inspired full sus.

Interesting but potentially costly idea. Just imagine some shovel monkey taking your Attitude down the local black run - good luck with that.

Also this is getting a little close to advertising. If you wish to advertise on the site please PM me for details.

Let me know when you are coming to one of the NE&Yorks rides and I will bring one along for you to ride for the day.

Be prepared for a big hole in your wallet though. Once riden, never forgotten!

Pay me an enormous amount of money and I'll grant you exclusive rights to rent out my fleet of Pace, Roberts and the Lotus when its done. There will be crazy high excess fess chargeable too.

In all honesty I wouldn't buy anything too special as it will either get lost, stolen or damaged. Just a scratch to a pompously painted klein can have a huge knock on effect to the price.

Explosif is probably a better bet, they are not 10 a penny but are a lot easier to source than Pace/decent kleins etc.

if you are serious that would be amazing. i'm not a lightweight though - i'd be scared about breaking it!

edit, not that i am saying they are not strong! just i'm fat

I've been trying to break one for years. I'm no flyweight and quite clumsy so if you break one you will have been really giving it some stick.

If you do, it can be fixed. Thats the beauty of steel.

I've always wanted to ride something decent and titanium. I would imagine a Hei Hei would be popular

C-3PO?



I would think you would need a stable of two dozen classics in popular dimensions to choose from to get any steady business.

Shhhh, don't put him off, I was looking forward to riding a Hei Hei :roll:
