Hey guys, interesting thread and had to join the forum to add some comments as there seems to be a lot of interest.

I was interviewed at the Formula 1 factory for this very team and test rode this and their suspension bike protype.

My history was that I finished second, still bothers me after leading most the race, the 1991 Malvern Hills UK Championships whilst riding for Trek and missing out to Oli Beckinsale. A 4th overall in the UK BMBF national series. Good days.

I was a only just 16 at the interview and beat John the times we raced, only a couple, and was sad not to get a ride the following year as the recession hit and my original team Fusion (Bike UK) went Bust - Oli can be seen riding one (a Fusion) though on YouTube during a race. I am nowhere to be seen as hung up the racing pedals immediately but like to reminisce

Thank you. It took a while

Still got a couple of tiny things to do, but I want to wait for some drier weather to give it a little try out
