Are we talking British or American rarities?,there's bound to be more American bikes given that the market numbers are far larger
Sorry i dont know enough about mbt history to contribute ,cos im too young

It is just me or has the 'Jonny O' bike at the top got a extra tube beneath the seat tube/shock mount junction? (with the MBA sticker on)
Probably a good idea if it has because the thing looks like it might very well snap in two right there!

I do love this bike, especially the top picture, it looks so 'factory' with the odd assortment of parts, colours and stickers.

Formula One carbon MTB for me please

I was going to say this as well!

Didn't they make a full susser for Deb Murrell to go downhilling on? I'm sure it appears on my '92 BMBF tape along with a visit to the factory.

There was an FS one, yes. They also added brakes at some point

The one in the pic is obviously the DH one then, who needs brakes anyway, they only slow you down! :twisted:

For me, it has to be the extended seat tube Ritchey. Way ahead of the current carbon extended seat tube bikes, only in steel and a Ritchey
I've got a dream of building a custom in a similar style in tribute. One day.....
