Bicycle Magazine (UK) February 1983

[Repack Rider]

Probably the first major MTB article to appear in the UK. Written by Richard Grant, who visited Fairfax in 1977 and returned to England with a klunker built for him by Gary Fisher.

The bike in the photos is certainly the first Ritchey to arrive in the UK.

It's a .pdf file, so link only

Wow. It's amazing to see and read about the start of our sport. I like how the guy said that the clunker will eventually be more popular than the drop handlebar 10 speed. Awesome find, and thanks for posting!!
