I got into Mountain biking in'87 or '88 when I first moved to Newbury. Armed with an Ordnance Survey map and a MK IV British Army marching compass I rode (manhandled) my Raleigh Maverick all over the Ridgeway and its local trails. Later I used rides torn from the MTB mags and followed routes in...

Had one on my (Trek) Klein.

+1 more for Ardents on the front with Ardent Race on the rear, even better set up tubeless.

I had an RD400 and that was mental enough. :) :cool:

Tell us more. :)

Trek? :oops:

Yes please, posted to UK mainland address. PM me your details.

Needs a price mate. :cool:
