I can't believe it's the second page before anyone mentions the Brooks B17. :shock:
Apart from wars, it's been in production from 1894 to the present day. How many consumer goods can say that?

Sorry chris I'm gonna call you on that one too, as much as I love my B17 not really classic mtb.

Edit: Actually, I'll go for RC35 MXCD forks instead...

I'll confess to not getting the Pace thing, but I'll ask were these any good?


As an addition I guess the stuff doesn't really have to be good to be classic, could be the must have thing of the time or a design classic etc...

Re: Classic parts

Are we going to run a poll?

Not sure how a poll would work but we could possibly make a bike

DX Thumbies, for such an old design they still look and work perfectly and not silly priced liked the XT thumbies.

 

[bryan555]

XT Shark Fin

A much under rated classic bit of kit that an early '90s MTB shouldn't be without. Unless it's got square tubes.
