Great photos! Consider yourself lucky riding with mtb legends, visiting the MTB museum on a private tour! Was wondering are all these bike the property of the museum or are they loaned?
A mixture of both. One of my bikes is in the MTB Hall of Fame collection, but it is a loan, and I assume most of the others are also.
The collection of bikes pre-dating mountain bikes was obtained on the death of a well known collector, and I presume that these are now the property of the museum.
