spec details.... how much can you remember

[Rumble]

1997 GT Timberline, started off as catalouge spec and ended up with:
Marzocchi DH3 forks (upgraded with Z2 spring kit), XT front and rear mechs, Sun Rims (Big Mammoth rear, red Rhyno Lyte front), red Club Roost stem, red ano Scott risers, oh and the red DX spds.

I had a thing for red back then, clearly. And I also seemed to be happy to try and set it up as a DH bike!

No pics, but it was a 1989 Ridgeback 601EX with Exage Country and I managed to squeeze 2.2 specialized hardpacks.

My first mountain bike was a 1990 Giant Sedona ATX. 7 speed shimano LX gruppo, bio-pace chain rings, push/push shifters and rigid steel. Gawd I lived that bike.

Remembered... 1.85 Tioga something tires. Thought they were pretty fat tires in those days, LOL!
