So if we have to talk our way into submission, I will try my 1981 Ritchey Everest.
- Bullmoose bars - fork mount clamp - buh-bye
- Reynolds tubing for MTB - not used much
- Tandem fork crown - not done now
- Proprietary press fit BB - not for the MTB masses anymore
- Road parts on an MTB frame, campagnolo, TA, Huret, 126mm Phil Road hubs, and motorcycle grips, and brake levers - wouldn't consider it now.
- Cruiser Araya 7X rims - nope not now
Most of the things listed - are dead end, but would lead to the evolution of MTB specific parts and frames.
Thoughts?
