    Early Muddyfox Lovers Anonynmous

    Re: Hi just recently I bought a 1987 Mountain Klein and was looking for a Deerhead group or a donor bike because I like the charme of the Deerhead XT on a Mountain Klein. I came upon this 1985 Muddy Fox The Monarch on Ebay Classifieds and was able to pick it up. First my wife said "we do have...

    Hi, I started to ride Mountainbikes in January 1987. I would have never guessed where the Mountainbike would take me in my life (working in the bike industry since 1990, now as european product manager for a well known american company). The local bikeshops back then had two bikes on...

    1989 Koga Miyata RidgeRunner

    Re: Here's the latest addition to my stable, a 1989 Ridge Runner in near mint condition. I believe, this bike was ridden less than 100k. It's the same frame size as the Ridge Runner I owned 26yrs ago. It seems a bit too large for me from todays point of view. While that's absolutely right it...

    Rare Yeti

    Hmm, well, if this has an 1 1/4" headset is was never ever built in 1984 ;). My guess is by judging all the details, that this is an late 1989. Still an collectible though. Good find for 750 US $. And John Turner? Who's that guy? This is how an 1984 Yeti looks like: Greetings...

    which bike do you regret selling the most

    Hi, Yeti Treefrog. One of around 15 built. Bought it in 1991 and sold it when I was short of money in 1996. Really regret this. Would love to own this bike again, as I still have a soft spot for Trials bikes (and for classic Yetis ;) Greetings, Michael

    Why do you ride/collect retro?

    Because it reminds me of my youth ;). Also cause I was finally able to buy some bikes that I dreamed of back in the 80's/early 90's. That's the era I'm most interested in, maybe just because that was when I really got started in mountainbiking (bought my first MTB in 1987) Greetings, Michael
