Re: that means roy's place would be empty for a spell? ;o)

Re: sorry, that's right. i got my year off by one- i still had it planted in my head from the guy i bought one of my team comps from. the unishock corroborates that, as it's the first version that has 'designed by... patent pending', puts it in '92, iirc... my bad! i wouldn't be surprised if...

Re: hey, that's gotta be worth a prize? ;O) i have a couple team comps and the frame bore a remarkable resemblance. built with tange prestige ultralite and i believe standard equipment in '93, at least, was the inimitable scott unishocks. maybe the earlier ones came with cro-mo rigid fork...

Re: hey john, that might be a rm team comp. i'll post a couple pictures i have when i get back from 'running' errands. sure smells like one, except maybe the fork?

Re: thanks for posting all the great pics, roy. i think the socks i was wearing are only just completely dry now! great variety of rides, paul's own 189? 'giraffe bike' replica and those custom choppers, all added to the vibe. the one trike chopper even had a self-contained- rear-mounted...

Re: Re: i think the proper term should be, 'romaxi'? ;o) i will put in my 2 cents and say that despite the weather, the show was an awesomely pleasant success. i was thoroughly soaked by the time i left, but somewhat oblivious due to the great selection of bikes and bits that were shown and...

Re: hey roy, i'm a local!? ;o) i better chime in! yes, thanks roy, for being the 'catalyst' for getting things ready for the big 'climbax' on may 4th. if i don't get bikes ready in 'expresso' fashion, i won't be able to bring them, 'beaming' as i proudly show them to all the VRC fans in...

hey chillibiker, first i've seen of this thread. glad you saved the bike! if you haven't already found out through paul, i'd say it's made in april or may 1995, as in my own brodie collection and database of queries i've done for others, a frame with the serial number 3788 came back as being...

i think i've decided which bikes to bring in this year- looking forward to see who's bringing what. the weather should be stellar for everyone who comes out, cruisers and mtb'ers alike. anybody who can, should come out to the show and bring an old steed or three- the more, the merrier!!

thanks for posting all the pics and helping harald get that part of the show on, roy! thanks for helping me get set up/took down, too. i didn't have a camera with me, so glad someone did. absolutely gorgeous day for the show and i think a good time was had by all. great to establish the...

good eye on the revolutions. i've added a few more since that picture was taken and further down to the left is a set of syncros forged cranks. for race face, there's a lime green pair and a red set. the blue set with blue rings is from kooka. not last and certainly not least, are the 3dv...

hi, yah, woops! jumped the gun, or wasn't thinking when i posted that. i had the pics saved as 1991, as the guy i got the bike from said it was 1991, when chris started- first year, but upon researching the net and asking chris directly, i learned that he didn't start making mountain bikes...

here's another. i was looking at the previous picture i posted and figured the '91 dekerf in the immediate background might as well be exposed- partially. pardon the mess in the garage. it's much cleaner, now. more cranks, too! that's a couple '93 rm thin airs behind the dekerf and there...

okay, time to throw something up. hey, it's a start. i'll see if i can find something else. it looks way better built, of course. sure looks like if the above-pictured bikes show up, it'll be a great showing! AND there'll be CAKE! ;O)

i could, but wouldn't that ruin the surprise when pics of the show are posted!? i'm sure i can find pics of something that will fit the bill. i'll check the archives tonight...

hey roy, carcass-be-willing, i'll be there. i'll have to dig up a scoot or two. should be a darn fine time and the foundation of what i hope will become a healthy local scene for old school mtn bikes, much like the cruiser and low-rider ppl have done here- at least you can climb hills with...
