One of thems my old one aswell but its now unrecognisable and rather smart !
And today I did......
- Thread starter kaiser
- Start date
It was smart, but the pristine decals and powder-coat didn't last long (combination of crashing and sweating). It's now under the hoose and dismantled - I'd planned to build it up for my faither as a run around bike with cheap wheels, etc, but he picked up a skip bike instead and seems happy enough with that... even though it's a ladies step-thru!velomaniac":19oxxog8 said:
Today received an email.
One of my Hope mechanical brakes has GLYN hand stamped into it. Googled it along with 'MTB rider', 'Hope sponsored' etc and came up with a name and googled that to find he still is in the bike biz and still racing. Got a website and contacted him through that.
Tenuous

Some good guesses, while some of you obviously credit me with a lot more money than I have to splurge on a retro that will probably only see dirt twice a year!
Maverick or Mustang?
