    IMO

    One of the reasons I subscribe to the forum on a website called retrobike.co.uk is to..... discuss/see pictures/talk about RETROBIKEs. Okay my 1996 Rockhopper isnt as retro as the bikes that some of you guys have restored lovingly but at least it`s age is into double figures. (from...

    Passed off as fit to ride. Thumbs up for sports massage and Arnica :D What I really meant to say was, I shall be at Pitlochry for 10.30 on Sunday. I may also be accompanied by a bike that will be using wires and rubber as a stopping mechanism.
