Reyt-pack September 2022 (Downhill vintage rigid race Yorkshire style)

[Obtrusch]

Sounds like an excellent idea. I’m in

So I could just swap the back wheel out on this, de-electrify it as it were? I'll check the calendar.

Mmmm not so sure about that one,better have a word with the scruitneers ,those brake pads look post 89 to me and that pink bell,we didnt have pink up ere in Yorkshire ,although the ferret bag will get the nod,and the frame,which manufacture is it?

Yep, the pads are new, Ritchie, the bell was off my daughter's bike but has since been replaced, as for the frame, it's a Townsend from about '85.

So.....im confused....might be age, but i thought we were not using mtbs for this?

I thought the point was old skool off road, pre production mtb?

Not taking any sides or casting nestersions (or any other flowers) onto the proceedings....just interested as im about to try and blag a knackerd dawes touring frame and bits off a mate for a pint.

Edit...just to be clear its 1984.

My understanding was pre MTB, Scrambler, Tracker, Klunker bikes

 

[grey-beard]

I read it as pre 1989 steel rigid bike?

 

[Tootyred]

Ok, just pre 89 no lever indexing....cool.....

Me and Peachy will have to confer on this, but definitely rigid, I think very early MTB's would be OK but not quite in the spirit (although the Repack crew had Breezers and they were really MTB's)
