AFAIK there is only one Formula model, the MTB version. I'll check with Lester and Steve, Steve's road bike might have Formula stickers on but its black. The orange/white fade was unique to the Clockwork and Prestige AIR although i am having my new 5 painted up like that :D There are/were 3...

I may know where there is one, a friend of mine had one back in 94 and i don't think he sold it. there's a few other real rare UK made bikes, check out the frames that Team Hot Pie used in all those MBUK early spreads, they were badged Denton Cycles and hand made in Durham not at Dave Yates...

All (!) the Formulas were MTB, the one road frame is Steve's own road bike made from the same Formula tubing and welded by him. Dynamo was a 7005 alloy frame, most were anodised grey or purple, some painted ( usually where the anodising wasn't perfect) I'm not certain on this but i think the...

Re: Nostalgia for an age yet to come... hmm, the forum software is already running on one of the best, easily accessible databases in mysql, i'm not a fan of phpBB and prefer vbulletin which has some very neat ad ons which could give a lot of what you are looking for. maybe phpbb can be...

It'll fit a P7 slot to rear of seattube ( early models), later need 29.6. maybe a C16 as well.
