Cor, look at that seat tube angle! Compared to the current trend it's insane!!

Yep! Gone the other way now, raked out forks upright seat tube.

I do like the way the CXS rides, plush is the word I think. I am also on the two FB pages for Mountain Cycle and think I have seen you there too?

Yes, I try to stay active on the FB MC groups. Right now I am working with a guy in Switzerland who is restoring a first gen. He needs early rotors. I am sending him a NOS early rotor. I have been looking for a NOS rear for him, but so far I am striking out.
There are some good people in the groups.
I believe we all have to look out for each other. Parts for these are not so easy to find.

I was surprised to read that the Tremor was such a disappointment from Robert’s perspective.
Personally I kind of like them. That’s why I picked one up when I found one.
Also has a bit of a laid back seat tube.

Eric Morecambe design: yep the right angles but not necessarily the right way around

I will post my Tremor on here in a while, work is getting in the way again. I had two of those frames one is very good and I still have it the other had been repaired on the seat mast. That went to Holland and I lost track of it then.

Does anyone have a Shockwave MK1 frame for sale?

You don’t need to delete it, anything goes for this forum,

It looks awesome, I really like mountain cycle bikes, especially those.

I like the Stella artois on the suspension legs

I love the stance on dh bikes and I’m thinking of getting one in the near future

 

[youngsspeed]
