What ever happened to Formula Bikes?

[Rich]

Do you guys remember in the early 90's the carbon fibre monocoque frames with cro mo rear triangle that Formula designed and manufactured? (Not the disk brake manufacturers though).

Their team riders for 1991 - 2 were John Samways and Damion White, and Moutain Biker magazine did an article on them way back then...can't say I've seen one in yonks..any you guys remember them?

Sure...and I've no idea what happened to them. Think Deb Murrell (or similar) also rode for them.

Spooky, I was just thinking about them because they used to have some ace paintjobs on Deb Murrells bikes. Was hoping to inspire Jez and his Trimble.

Where did Deb Murrel live? She used to reg race the welsh mtb series back in the day.
Werent formula built in dorking?
