Any Retro Bikers?

[S27VEJ]

I have been into mountain biking for as long as I remember and I have a thing for 90s stuff.

 

Ive recently bought a winter project, just for something to do whilst it’s the close season for Motorsport.

 

The Kona Sex One.

 

Cant wait to get this built up!

I'm not a retro rider, I'm just a classic! I've still got my Evil Sovereign on 26ers if that qualifies.

Not that retro but i am away to put back rideable & tidy my young lads trials bike i put together 19 years ago.

Ashamed really that i keep looking at it and have not cleaned it up.

I have some BMX's from the early 1990's to sort out as well as BMX is  away to be huge again, but brakeless for skate park and ramp & street not racing.

Nice! 

 

I used to to have a Cannondale team trails frame

 

Not really into trails so sold it...

I bought a '91 GT Avalanche a few years ago, I had it on a poster on my wall as a teenager, I always wanted one but it was way to far out of my paper round earnings.

 

It needed a bit of TLC to get it running again but it was great for whizzing through Wharncliffe woods on my commute to work (32 miles per day ) 

 

Enjoyed every minute of owning it but sold it on for another project

I've got a 1992 Quest MTB that I bought new for nearly £1000. Full Deore LX with thumb shifters and cantis, handbuilt 26" Mavic M231CD rims on XT hubs and Onza bar ends. I was riding it arround at Llanhydrock  last year and a guy who, it turns out, owns a bike shop asked me where I got the 'retro' machine....

 

I do have 3 more modern bikes but they are all road jobs.

I still have my 1990 Cannondale SM700.  Just fitted a NOS left hand STI as the internals were not working.  Feels weird riding it after a newer bike but it's still a great ride even with solid forks.
