Just joined and thought I better post a pic of my bike I bought new in 1997 which has been just down the road at 60mph off the roof of a car and crashed off road more times than I care to remember. Damn thing still keeps going though.
Never even had suspension forks on this one. Steel forks and not even vbrakes. Just love the old thing it is a bit beat up as you can tell in the pics but just goes to show how well made they were back then.
