what was your SECOND mountain bike?

[orange71]

It was my 4th bike which was the one I really wanted, until then I had to do with Diamond Back Topangas (x2) and a Merlin (Leyland) alloy jobbie. It was only in 1996 I got what I wanted which was the Orange X1.

Shogun Prairie Breaker, like this one:

Silly name, but quite a nice little bike.

It died in a hit-and-run. It seems the driver stopped about 50 yards up the road to drag the wreckage out from under his car and throw it into the hedge.

:shock:

Mine was a 1992 Cannondale M700 with LX/DX/XT parts, Black/Blue Hyper-highlight paintjob and Pepperoni fork.

After years of not buying a bike, I bought a Ridgeback.
Looked amazing. Metallic blue, with silver RST forks. Uncomfortable, but beautiful.
I rode it round for a couple of years, then realised I didn't like it as much as my Puegeot. Cue years of newer, more expensive bikes, but my old Pug just had something that was right for me. So my new frame that finally replaces it has a lot to live up to.

But it used to be pearlescent silver, with Project 2s, Hope Ti screw-on hubs, X-lite skewers, Flite, M730-5 XT,M231s, Middleburn RS1 with Pace ringss, Record OR cantis and ZMAX WCS tyres.

The seatpost, x-lite bar ends and stem are original though.... And the Renthal Bars are the same as the orignal ones that broke near the barend clamps.
