Do you remember ... weird components and Bicycles.

[madjh]

I remember one bicycle with 4 front chainrings back in the early 90´s. It was a low spec bicycle sold in some supermarkets in my country. The common was 1 (low spec)-2 or 3 chainrings but 4???? Yes and here it is a photo ... 6x4

The front gear lever is not indexed. The Speria Colorado sold in many countries like Germany, Spain, Italy ...

Nice, so there is a adaptor to put 4 chainrings ... I haven´t seen that
And the sockster ...that is bizarre

And what about this suspension system. Use your rigid fork and transform in to ... an alien ... or suspension fork. It is quite rare, I only have this photo, I have never seen in a bicycle. A very imaginative solution. Taken from a 1996 magazine.

I remember an adapter (around the time microdrive came out) that would allow you to use a cog as an inner chainring. I can't remember if the resulting set up was 4 or 3 chainring set up though.

Re:

Yeah, but if you can only go up to 10 where are you gonna go after that?
That's why this one goes up to 11...or something, someone said similar sometime ago...

That was the mountain quad IIRC, i dug out a link last time it was mentioned on here.
