    What mountain bikes did you own BITD?

    My progresion was different, in the 80´s I was young and had no enough money so my dream bicycles didn´t come. Marin, Kona, GT, Merlin, Rocky Mountain, Clark Kent, Voo doo (Kanzo), Alkon, Megamo (Radical), and so on. So my bicycles were: Celta 1989 to 1996 sold despite it was trashed...

    Biscuits or bananas / up or down / shimano or sram

    I always use shimano, some times with Sram Attack shifters, other with grip shift but since dual release, always simano and that is why in one of my last creations I went Sram with the XX1 eagle 12 speed. The first I notice is that I like and miss a lot the dual release shifter. And how cheap...

    You need something fast and light weight and you can keep up with the new Stuff.

    Why do you collect retro bikes?

    That means that I have to recognise that I have two problems: One I didn´t realised that I have a problem and two I collect bicycles 🧐 But all is more simple: I need them all. One has this pourpose, the other has other pourpose etc etc 10 times. They are my family and I have a new "baby" ...
