'My ideal bike for the First OWMTB Championship would be...'

[kaiser]

I'll take one of these, how more original can it get. History, looks and bags of style. Charlies Breezer, stick on Klunkerz then hit those Dutch hills. Hope you've got a showing of Klunkerz.

For all round use, I would have to borrow one of Kai's bikes.

His '91 Epic Ultimate to be precise...

Or maybe Mike's ti. lugged '92 S-Works Carbon Ultimate!

Whichever one of them would lend me - I'd be more than happy with either!!


Pic attached of Kai's bike - I think Mike is less forthcoming with pics of his bikes...

 

[24pouces]

I'll bring 2 bikes. Hard to make a choice…
So, my oldest bike : the 1986 C'dale with the 24" rear wheel,
And for the race, the klein attiude team america, campy equiped, for showing the neon color power !!!!

need those frogskins ... :roll:

kidding.

I need your bike, your lycra, and your SPDs.

 

[KeepItSteel]

dead or alive you are riding wiz me...

 

[ededwards]

Not sure about my ideal bike for the event but at a global championship, for me it has to be something British and, preferably, not something that anyone else will bring.

So attached is my current planned ride - Orange Vit T2 with RC30s, Middleburns, Syncros, Control Tech, Dia Compe SS7s, XT thumbshifters, Flite, Hope, X Lite etc. and as importantly a spotty Orange jersey, Pace shorts, splatter M Frames and spotty Orange helmet cover (anyone got some fluro Dominators in 45 or 46 I can borrow?).

But hang on a minute, what an opportunity/excuse for a new build!

Would be great to rock up on a Highpath or Cleland, really doubt there would be another of those. And what about a super rare (mythical? has anyone actually seen one?) Tushingham B52. Or keep it clean with a yellow/blue Overbury's Pioneer?

OMG, this is going to be a busy couple of months.......

Having ridden a Highpath Cleland in Holland the Dutch reaction may well be to ask: "why are you riding a Dutch roadster off-road? and why has it got fat tyres?"

As a Cleland & Highpath nerd the question for me would be which of the numerous varients to take?


Unfortunately you could not take an original 1979 Cleland Range-Rider (1st generation prototype), as non of these appear to have survived.

Yep, can see that, but how cool?

Are you coming over?

I am tempted but am unlikely to be there due to work commitments

re:

It would have to be a Kona explosif or a S-works M2 for serious racing, stick a judy fsx with some altered insides and xtr v's that bike would do some serious hurting on newer ones to... Xtr hubs with mavic 217 rims or spinergys. or a Cannondale F series with onza brakes

That would kill most of the competition,
