Tushingham MTBs

[cinderKona]

Anyone remember the MTBs that Tushingham - windsurfing company - made for a couple of years in the late 80s? I seem to remember the name "B-52" but not much more. I also remember when Stif was in the 'granary' in Headingley they started out selling Orange bikes and possibly Tushingham kit, any link between the two brands? Anyone else able to shed any light on these, or been lucky enough to own/ride one?

T'was the precurser to the Clockwork IIRC.

Spent most of my student loan in that tiny shed in Headingley, happy days!

Likewise! In my first year, living so close, in Lupton flats behind the arndale centre didn't help. I bought my cinder cone from them with 100 quid off at the end of 1990 season - still cost me 400 so baked beans for a few months! They had a hei hei in there and all manner of pace goodness to make you drool!
