Provenance from the seller:
I worked at NWMTB eons ago and Jason had this bike for sale. My mum, who was by herself at the time bought it for me and it was well used... I rode it almost daily and also raced it nationally for a couple of years. But the bike didn't make up for my lack of talent! I have a picture of me racing it somewhere in Shropshire in the 90's. So I've owned it from when he sold it. It's not changed hands since. I got back into downhilling a few years later and used bits off this bike on a new rig. I regret that now of course. At this stage, we're still talking over 20 years ago. Since then, the frame and bits has been in a cellar, storage unit or garage at some point. I've debated keeping it and restoring it for light trail use. We go to Morzine a lot and I have visions of using it over there as a novelty. But TBH, I've just not got the time to do it. I also thought to simply hang it up as a piece of art!
