I wasn't having a go - I grew up near Redditch which is a million times worse than solihull! Used to go skating in solihull mind. Anyway besides all of that, are we gonna try to rearrange this ride for sometime in spring?

This is a thread for a previously organised ride, and the post was solely a suggestion for another ride. Us NZ retro'ers are using the thread to arrange some rides, we're a long way from solihull! (Do you know what the Karapoti Classic is?)

Bloody awful looking thing, what's with all the 'fenders'?

All good eh. Why were the brakes ever put down there? I heard rumours that U brakes were 'too strong' to be mounted on the seatstays.... Gotta love the Competition and Mt tam, I remember that even the hookooekoo was out of my price range BITD!

Likewise! In my first year, living so close, in Lupton flats behind the arndale centre didn't help. I bought my cinder cone from them with 100 quid off at the end of 1990 season - still cost me 400 so baked beans for a few months! They had a hei hei in there and all manner of pace goodness to...

Anyone remember the MTBs that Tushingham - windsurfing company - made for a couple of years in the late 80s? I seem to remember the name "B-52" but not much more. I also remember when Stif was in the 'granary' in Headingley they started out selling Orange bikes and possibly Tushingham kit, any...

Any thoughts on re-arranging this ride? Maybe we should wait until springtime!

Should say on the sidewalls but the chevrons of the tread face forward I think.

Someone needs to show them how to put a rear wheel on properly!

No, the buckle that these go into.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get replacement buckles for sidi's tecno range of shoes or if the more modern buckles will retrofit and work with old straps. I have an old pair of Fire MTB shoes that need a new ratchet buckle. Anyone got some for offer?

That is a stunningly original 88/89 explosif, even down to the 'Reaction' treads! Beautiful......

If I remember rightly, in '89 was the first year you could get a Kona in the UK - 3 models as per the catalogue above. They had a big K type shape on the top tube and U Brakes. I got my cindercone that was a white '90 model and there was "Kona" on the top tube, a 'c' on the seat tube and 'cinder...

May be at the mountain on Sunday, but if this rubbish weather keeps up, then that will be off. Maybe re-schedule due to gale force southerlies?

Surly 22 up the back. Coupled with a 36 front, nice 'mellow' gear for the hills of Wellington.

From a 1989 Mongoose. Deore 2 Front and rear Mechs - MT62 is the number stamped on them. Make me an offer - I am in NZ but will post anywhere if you are willing to pay for shipping.
