Retro Newbie
my mother has just sold her house and while clearing out the attic i found a load of stuff from my teenage years. this massive poster i found was from when i wrote to paul hinton and he came to do a talk in my school to the mtb nuts. i had to meet and greet and i clearly remember helping him with the bikes; one a road bike and one mtb with pace forks (rigid), ti frame and campag bits. i had a cuppa with him and he was great, really inspiring guy. i got to ride his bike into the hall where all the kids were waiting! he let me ride it round the playing field after. i was esp pleased as caroline alexander was on the front of the poster as i had a crush on her! sorry about the crap phone pic. think it deserves a frame now.

Great stuff :cool:

Just noticed your location !! Drop into the south Midlands area we are looking for new recruits :cool:
 
91 sounds about right, could be 90. def before malvern classic 91 as i saw paul hinton there.
 
How bright was the colour scheme on those 90/91 Team Raleigh's the pics make them look very mustardy, but my ex Timmis 92/93' Team Raleigh is fluorescent, which surprised me when i first saw it.
 
their tops are def mustardish, the bikes more banana yellow. i remember the more fluro frame.

Sounds the same, a colour that you just cannot capture with a camera. Thanks for sharing your picture with us :D
 
Ian Cammish? That should date it pretty accurately, he wasn't around for long and (I think) only rode place-to-place road records.

I'll have to ask him.
