I have a most dh races over many years on vhs somewhere, not sure they go back as early as '93 though, will try to dig them out and check.

And am interested to see the factory section if you do get time to upload it.

Thanks Mark - that would be greatly appreciated. I’ll get the factory tour uploaded - it’s only a short segment but interesting all the same.

I’m still trying to find footage of Deb from the Canadian round of the 1993 World Cup. I’m still looking but I did find this - 5th place in the overall standings after the Canadian round

Pretty sure Caroline, or her partner were on this site a few years back? Certainly people who know her.

Hope mechanical disc front brake and Hope solid axle hub

Those early Hope disc brake rotors look quite over-engineered compared to more modern disc brake rotors.

I remember the Formula 1 bike.

I thought it was a Carbon Monocoque bike and way ahead of its time.

It was a masterpiece of engineering and an amazing bike that I drooled over.

This is fantastic. How did you manage to get hold of it?

A friend alerted me to it for sale. I don’t know much about it’s history after the 1993 season but it went through several owners on Retrobike in more recent times.
