Offroad master pics

[stocko]

Just got myself a new project of an Offroad master that i'm looking to build for the malverns bunnyhop comp in tribute to the great Jez Avery.

Does anyone have any pics from mbuk etc from when Jez was riding the yellow master??

Hahahaha, I was looking to do the same thing.

Perfect donor and would get the judges interest at the show n shine

These are off my phone, they give an idea of the paint, I think jez's bike had 531 straight blade forks like the Dawes geomax ones, black u brake and cantilevers and Deore II drivetrain.





This was an unusual one, it had a prototype fork fitted with a drum brake.... Jez said it got binned as a bad idea....

Not my pic. It’s somewhere on his website, but this is the bike I think? Looks pretty stock save for the forks.

Lovely.

Here’s my bottom of the range, MT.10+2 that doesn’t feature in any catalogues. There’s an MT.10 with a single ring up front (I think) but this has a triple.

Tiny frame with 26 inch wheels - and the bike (not this one) that got me into MTB around 89/90 when my parents bought two from Rayments in Brighton for me and my sis at Christmas.

Weighs about as much as a small house. All original, save for the saddle, and another that Pete helped with.
