Hi all,
I'm on the forum for a few weeks now, but didn't introduce myself yet in a proper way....
I've been cycling since I'm 4 or 5 years old and got caught by the MTB-virus when I was 15.
The first MTB was a Giant Escaper with Shimano LX.
Next was the Specialized Rockhopper comp with Shimano XT upgrade
Up next was an Bridgestone MB-1 (1989 model).
After that it was an Ibis Mojo (with a handjob) directly from the factory.
In the past I visited Fridrichhaven quiet some times and spoke to some of the founders (Steve Potts, Joe Breeze, Tom Ritchey, Gary Fisher).
Last few years I'm more and more into retro builds as you can see on my post of my Ibis with ano green parts.
Since I'm more and more into retro I was just Goolge-ing on the internet and found retro bike by searching for 'retro bike'. Almost a mirracle I found the site I would say..
...and now.. I'm soaking up the information on the forums and post what I think should be posted on here..
At the moment I own the Ibis of 1995, an Ibis Mojo 2001 and a Specialized Stumpjumper 1994.
Tipicaly me is the use of non-Shimano parts I would say.
That's about it.. If you like to know more, I guess you'll give me a post and ask... as long as it's not my PIN or credit card number or things for hi-jacking my internet account...
