Top 10 Best Sellers from 1994

[Neil]

in early 90s as a poor vicar i may have been old enough to buy something better but no money to do so-pause for sympathy(so not all adults had something decent!)-but moved from my dawes tourer to a claud butler rigid mtb-which i adorned in glorious purple-the story of its nearly immediate theft is on another thread

Do you forgive the thief?



Sorry, couldn't resist

 

[The Vicar]

of course

actually rage and fury first response then a kind of resigned acceptance that we live in a sinful world !

i had 7 bikes stolen in 1990s in a series of eccentric places-outside the YMCA,the local police station and the security camera room at the oval cricket ground for instance

then i bought a very very expensive lock and havent had one stolen in 10 years

the chad roberts is the one i leave locked outside shops and the station the most-i suspect thieves are looking fro flashy known brands without realising that a handbuilt chas roberts is worth far more

I can't say that they have. It was probably because of the phenonomom of Mountain Bikes becoming so popular in this era. The nineties were when true mountain bike started.

I'd given up mountain biking by 1992. I bought my first in 1986.

Ah, such innocent times
