Retro racing pics

Gav!! Are those world beating shocktech carbon forks i see?

Do u still ride cross? Im going to make another come back one of these days!

Not seen tony for awhile. Im going to find some of my double a photos.

They are indeed Shocktech carbons, still got them as well but the elastomers are just mush and I doubt there's any spares knocking about so they'll probably end up as wall art along with the pink frame as that's cracked :cry:
I did cross for the first time in six years this winter, it hurts a lot more than I remember :shock:
I saw Tony a few weeks back, he's closed up the shop and now working at Decathlon. I've got a few Double A and Univega pics but always happy to see more

Oooo. I did that one. Have got some pics somewhere - will dig them out.

Please do Dave. I was racing juniors at the time. After my race I stuck around to witness a monumental rain-storm during the seniors race which turned the downhill I'm pictured on into a mudslide. Very entertaining indeed.

A sea of neon at Rother Valley !

See that red Spesh helmet right at the back, Gav? That'll be me, then

Well spotted at that distance !
I should be getting the full sets of pics from my dad at some point so I'll see if you pop up on any more.
Any more clues as to what bike/kit to look for ?

Going back to '92, here's a shot of some of the Blazing Saddles Team taken for the local paper to publicise our successes(!)

Two forum members in the picture.

No prizes for guessing which and who - but have a go anyway.

We've all aged a bit since then - some more than others!

92/93 I was still on Marins so either a grey/yellow Palisades or a black/orange Pine Mountain. Kit-wise probably one of those awful Cinelli street-map things or a much nicer Motorola jersey. It's well before I joined MCC anyway :shock:

Cool, I'll keep my eye out when I get the pics then.
