Not a traditional flatbar mtb, but dreamy none the less.

1987 Cunningham.

If anybody on here has ever ridden a Ham like this, how does it ride ? Is it super stiff like an early Klein or softer like a Dale ? Whats the handling like on twisties, fast downhill along ruts and also its climbing ability ? :?
 
93 Explosif or an early Trek OCLV, in 16-17 inch guise! Never seen the Kona in the smaller sizes and whilst I have seen the Trek on a couple of occasions, wallet said no at the time! One day though!
 
Re:

Have to say I like the blue collar steel bikes with solid forks, so in no particular order: Explosif, Clockwork, Stumpjumper or high end Marin.
Starting with a frame I'd have handbuilt wheels and finish with XTR.
Then ride lots. 8)
 
1989 Marin Pine Mountain, the year they had gloss grey frames, pre Zolatone but still with the Neon orange forks, bars, etc. I’ve got a 91 but always liked the earlier ones.

Mine would have to be Dave Yates' own Vulcan the prototype,i don't think that will ever be for sale.

I had 3 OCLVs back in the early to mid 90s. Lovely ride but they had a tendency to break (I went through 3 frames in a year).
 
Not a bike, but a part only. On the search for a Litespeed ti fork for a few years now. Asked everyone. Looked everywhere. Not a single step closer to even an owner thinking of selling one.

An early Merlin with the rear brakes at the bottom bracket. If I found one I would have Steve Potts make a type 2 fork for it (for roller cam brakes), and then I could die happily :D
