Easy to remember. Its still hanging from the roof in the garage. 25 years old next month. Must pump up the tyres and take it for a ride.

Stock 1989 Saracen Tufftrax for me. Mostly Mountain LX, Saracen finishing kit (including bottle) and Deore thumbies. Got another now.

2nd was an 1990 Orange Clockwork LX. That borrowed the thumbies until it got 1993 LX shifter/levers. Also gained a 1993 LX crankset and the Saracen h'bar as it was lighter then the stock Orange one.

My first "proper" bike was a red and white Emmelle racer when I was about 10 years old in 1985
