Another newbie joins the legion
Hi i'm John,
i've got the usual biog - i was massively into the scene in the early 90's and have had a nigh on 10year bike free existence..and have caught the bug again...big time !
Bike history....started off nice and easy
saracen (cant remember name)- was the first one to come with magura hydraulic brakes as standard (cost me about £400)
Scott Super America - full xt groupset (big oversized alu frameset)..
then my truly special bike...bought from the old stif cycles in leeds..
Pace rc200 ,rc35's , royce bottom bracket , ringle zooka stem , cook bros cranks , titanium handle bars , syncros seat post (gorilla post i think) , ringle titanium skewers (the drilled out ones), ringle (bubba hub) with mavic 231 rims....aaah happy days
and then,
SBIKE rear suspension , tioga revolver crankset(with integrated bottom bracket) , tioga disc drive rear wheel , (later replaced with pulstar rear hub with araya rims)
any hoo enough reminiscing - i ended up selling the RC200(around 98-99) and confined the SBike to the loft...fast forward to now and i have just bought a rc300 (couldn't get an rc200 fast enough) and i have just emptied the loft and am in the process of going through what is left... and would just like to chat , swap parts and generally get back into it !
