Top 10 Best Sellers from 1994

In 1994 I would have only been able to afford the Townsend ! :LOL:
I think I had a Raleigh Mustang second hand at that time.
 
presumably it isn't a list of top ten sellers for uk but for that shop so only the brands they kept in stock-no longer an orange dealer
 
Also would have been the brands stocked by that seller. I doubt they sold all the available brands available in 94. I would have thought there would be a specialized in that list if they sold everything.

BTW, my kid brother bought a Ridgeback (can't remember which but it had full XT on it) back in 1989-90 and it was very nice to ride if a little large (Dad said he would grow into it despite my protests).

I don't think 'ON YER BIKE' magazine would have just walked into the nearest bike shop and said "What have you sold most of ?"

The article came from The Independant Newspaper.

'On Your Bike' was a national chain of bike shops. We had one in Cambridge. That chart is either for the Tooley Street, London branch or the national sales for the chain. It's not total UK mtb sales.
 
wow that is some internet research to dig out indepenent newspaper for 94-have they done this every year since by any chance ?
 
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. Although they were available pre-1990, most youngsters wanted a BMX or a racing bike.

My brother had a Peugeot Laser? I think. As he told me tonight, it was like a gate because the frame was that big.

Because he started thinking about mountain bikes, I bought a Raleigh (Not sure about the model now) Magnum.

It reminded me of the Grifter. Lump of lead !!!

As a kid, the better models were always out of your (parents) price range. So you had to settle with what was affordable.

What annoys me now is that parents think they are doing the right thing by spending £200 on a brand new bike, when they would be better spent using that money on a decent second hand one.

Here endeth the lesson. :roll:
 
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

always wanted a clockwork so when 10th anniversary edition came out bought it straight away
