Re: Re: It's the same time every year? In that case, it's going straight into the calendar. Thanks.

Bugger. I'm only just back from one holiday so can't make it. More warning next time, please and I might be able to make a weekend of it.

Re: ICONOCLASSIC - UK'S LARGEST DISPLAY OF PRE-'95 MTBS! Funnily enough a mate of mine still rides with Tim Gould. He's back racing again, although I'm sure everyone already knows this!

I have a set of wheels with White Industries hubs but never knew they made mechs too. (I remember popping into my local bike shop when they first came out and the owner handing me a rear hub and telling me how much it cost. And me being staggered when he told me he'd already sold a couple!)...

Re: ICONOCLASSIC - UK'S LARGEST DISPLAY OF PRE-'95 MTBS! The two chaps in the tracksuits in the old picture were Tim Gould (I think) on the left and David Baker (definitely) on the right.

Didn't notice the date!

Re: I travel a bit for work, so may be able to help out. I'm driving from Norwich to Paignton next week and to Peterborough and Leicester the week after. Shame they're not the other way round. If it's in Cambridge by next week, though I may be able to collect it and get it closer to Bournemouth.

Re: I always seem to miss these threads until too late! If anyone is interested, though, there's a two hour ride from Brandon Country Park every Monday evening, starting at 7pm.

Here's mine. I think I bought it in 1991/92 and, apart from the Maguras, it's still pretty much as I bought it.

Lots around, aren't there? I have a 1993 Orange Prestige, but I wasn't really thinking of selling it unless someone makes me a good offer.

Re: Its been a while but ... Anyone up for a ride Sunday 9th Possibly. Keep me posted.

Ooh, I've been booked to drive to my sister's on the 26th to collect my mum and bring her back to Norfolk on the 27th. My sister lives about five miles from Cannock Chase. I wonder if I can work this into my schedule?

You forgot to mention the duck pond...

I haven't time to read through the entire thread, but did you manage to get in touch with Tim Gould? A friend of mine rides with him every now and again and may be able to put you in touch. I also ride a Roberts White Spider, by the way. I bought it second hand in 1993. It has Pro Circuit forks...

[/img] Sorry about the low-res iPhone pix. In the end I gave the frame to a friend of mine who is taller than me and more suited to the size of frame.

I had some lovely foam ones. Front suspension was for softies!

I've had one of these for almost 20 years. You'll enjoy it!

I still have the frame of a tandem my dad bought soon after the war. When I used to ride it in the 1970s it still had "Victory V" tyres on it. And the headset looks very similar to the one on yours, as do the lugs. Trouble is there were so many (hundreds, perhaps?) frame manufacturers...

I bought mine as a frame and forks (plus stem): I've loads more photos if there's anything you want to compare.

The last time I bled mine was about 1995, but I don't remember it being difficult at all. If you need instructions, I've probably still got the originals in the box they came in!
