Show us your bike history..

[development_cycle]

I thought the title said "show" us not "tell" us. Other than toons, no-one else has shown anything. Come on guys I clicked on here to see some bikes!

The only pic that I have is of my Litage. I do have a pic of my Trek 5500 (nude carbon) but I'll have to find my scanner....

Anyway here's the Litage:

If everybody "Showed" every bike, this post would be enormous! added to that the fact that in ye olden days there was no digi-cams and not too many PCs either a list is not bad going. I suspect most people on this site (I may be wrong!) are the wrong side of 40 - with poor memories!

I only wish I did have photos of some of my old beauties. Here goes:

1980: Raleigh Small Rider (12" wheel and plastic box on the back to keep my Fruit Pastilles in)

1986: Puch Magnum BMX with yellow mag wheels and gold everything else

1988: FIRST MTB - Ridgeback 602 SIS (grey fade Cr-Mo frame, Exage Trail groupset, Biopace, red cable housing)

1993: Dave Quinn 653 with 653 straight blade forks (threaded 1") and full XT. Ruined with Flexstem and Scott AT3 bars, then ruined worse in 1998 with RST Zeta TL fork...

2000: S-Works M4 Hardtail (crashed in Hayfield)

2002: S-Works M5 Hardtail (current bike, with Pace RC 36 Evo fork and 1999 full XT.

...Forgot to add - the 1993 Dave Quinn had the most legendary saddle of all time: The red Look Rolls. Like the Selle Italia Rolls with gold rails and back plate, but bright red soft leather and with Look enamelled badging. Could this be the only one of its kind in the world?

If I'd known I was potentially sitting on a fortune, I wouldn't have used it as my everyday MTB saddle for so many years. Damn it.

It's still in my shed but I daren't put it on ebay in case some collector bids hundreds for it and is gutted when he sees the state it's in.
