Classic steel

You see Mick, it was going really well! The Pine was a great frame. I rode a 96 for ages, and loved it.

Then you go and spoil it by adding the pro flex 550 thing! :shock:

Big cuddly Al, :D

How about my Scott Team Pro in Columbus Max OR? One of the best frames I've ever had, road or MTB.

As ridden by Chris Young in the '92 BMBF's.

...I may be biased or maybe need to adjust my chronometer from "classic" to "curmudgeon-ish" but if it aint PRE WAR STEEL...it aint REAL ;-)
 
I do not diagree that the Fat chance is a true iconic bike but i thnk the 550 was on of the first steel full suspension bikes, I was drooling in 1991/92 over these bikes. Its just wish i had the chance to own one BITD.

I know nobody likes Marin around here but what about the Team Issue? Seemed to be the rig of choice for the Polaris Challenge.
Maybe nobody considers that "proper" racing... :D

I love the early Marins, I have been on the lookout for one for ages! Only problem is they all seem to be 22" frames :roll: Where are all the 17" 18"'s


Parkpre didn't make the list then? :?
