Re:
The Turds big day out
Quite out of the blue one night I saw a post by Gus regarding a request that came one via one of his old contacts in the trade at Scott Sports UK
requesting help with sourcing some retro Syncros parts for display at an upcoming trade show. Whilst they have all the back catalogues and marketing
documentation they wanted something to physically sit alongside their 2018 kit and highlight the brands pedigree.
Aiming high GUS was hoping for loan of a fully loaded Fat or Klein but would equally welcome a NOS Syncros Seatpost or chainset etc.
Now I have neither a Fat or a Klien nor a NOS seat post etc but I do have a shiny 20 year old bike with shinny Syncros Cranks/Chainrings, Stem and Bar
I’ll be the first to admit it’s not a good looker (in the conventional sense) but never the less for something to catch the eye of passer-by’s its fits the
W.T.F bill well, especially with its Bassboat paint job, shiny arse end, flat bars, Tan walled tyres and 26’ rims…
What folk really thought about it wasn’t the point it was there to show off Syncros parts from the mid 1990’s – hopefully it did the guys from
Scott proud and if nothing else was a nostalgic opener for conversation that ultimately lead onto 2018 Syncros components.
After a re acquaintance with a bit of elbow grease and Peeks metal polish its previous lustre was once again restored and off it went for a long
weekend over at Silverstone.
and here it is..... one of the ugly sisters got to go to the ball
