Emelle...
Our kid had an Emmelle Cheetah for his first MTB got to give the cheetah some props even though it was & still is a big pile of babba , our kid took it over the over hang at Barton quarry & onto a near vertical 150ft descent!!!!!
He survived & he said believe it or not that the bike tracked well & kept him on course!!!!! :shock:

I'm collecting an emmelle dolomite xl tomorrow. The cortina was my first mtb and I dreamed of the top end model. They were suspiciously similar to the diamond backs, particularly the ascent, same seat lug, rear brake stop. My other projects are an rc100 and an ellison, but I'm wanting this as much.

Ok started mountain biking on an Emmelle Classic 300 1993. Cost me about £270 but I rode several mountain bike randonee on it. And in The Peaks. It was a shared Frome in gold/black stripe shared with Diamond Back.
And I enjoyed it enough to still be riding both road and mountain bike 26 years later.
I eventually lent my Emmelle to my brother, who destroyed it.

The 89 Dolomite was a decent bike, lovely paint and Mountain LX kit. Couple of mates had them when I got my Tufftrax.

Perfectly rideable on a red I imagine with a bit of care and skill.

Just last week I saw a bloke on a red version of this very bike going round the Red trail at Llandegla!! He was proper old school; Anorak, specs and a beard. Ace.
I don't know if he actually made it the whole way around though
