Right on the brakes, wrong on the telescoping fork.

Bumping this to include this article in the current issue of Dirt Rag.

Bumping so I don't have to post it again, and so everyone can appreciate the satisfied customers' responses.

I put some new items in my US EBay store, but if you want any of this stuff you should contact me here. Shipping is expensive, but sometimes several orders can be shipped together. The Fat Tire Flyer Store on Ebay

Re: I might as well leave these here.

Here is the "other" downhill from the same ride. This the descent of Pine Mountain, one of the best in Marin. It is a lot longer than the video suggests, about 300 vertical meters of descent. The price of this descent is the climb out of the deep canyon it ends in...

Pat and I both posted about the recent Appetite Seminar ride in Marin County, which drew 800 riders in spite of the mud. Wet trails, but blue skies, and now this incredible Steadicam footage from the last descent. You can see the bike bouncing around, but the camera doesn't move. You see what...

A few of my own photos from the Thanksgiving Day "Appetite Seminar" ride. Count was somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 riders. Sunny skies but deep mud that would have been the envy of any UK rider. As usual, beer ran out just as I arrived at the finish party at the Marin Museum of...

I have an EBay storefront, the Fat Tire Flyer Store. Because shipping to the UK is more expensive than shipping inside the US, PM me if there is something there that you like. I will be offering other products as well.

The first round of posters have arrived for the UK RBers and I have had several enthusiastic responses. Bumping this to keep it current, and to allow some of the previous recipients to tell their friends how happy they are with the posters.

At least two of the bikes out there on that day were original participants. Do I still have any of my old clunkers? Answer is no. I have no idea what happened to my last one, which was a prime example of a classic Marin County clunker. Once I got the new bike, Breezer #2, I had no further...

Re: repack posters Paypal account is repackrider@cs.com I can save a little postage by sending two sets together, so how about $70 USD for two sets? I'm printing on 11" x 17" poster stock, should be big enough.

Although various forms of off-road bikes have been around for 150 years or so, and even though millions of young men bashed about in the woods on junk bikes before my friends and I did, the sport of mountain biking is a recent development. Working backward from today, there is a good argument...

Re: I don't have any "Repack" t-shirts in stock, but a British company has picked up the slack. https://www.zazzle.co.uk/repack_mountai ... 1079907176

I sent out the first orders last week. Anyone have them yet?

Re: Re: Domestic is $30. Overseas adds $10.

I have reprinted the four original posters created for the Repack downhill in 1978 and 1979. They are printed on high quality 11" x 17" poster stock, and I have signed them. Posters are a lot cheaper to mail than copies of my book. I offer the set of four, signed, including postage to the UK...

Re: Overheated grease drips onto Otis Guy's rim Smoke billows from a cooked coaster brake. Otis Guy, Jerry Heidenreich and Joe Breeze compare one-speed bikes. 1979 Cook Brothers frame with Cook Brothers cranks. Otis.

As part of the day-long induction celebration I took part in the "Legends Ride," which was actually four rides of varying distance. My ride included HoF inductees Wende Cragg (on her Series III Breezer), Marilyn Price and Denise Caramagno, also RB contributor Geoff Halaburt on his Cunningham...
