what was your SECOND mountain bike?

Great thread!

My 2nd bike was a 1995 Barracuda Comp. Easton frameset, silver to purple fade, complete with Judy XC fork. I took it up a notch with the purple Ringle cage and no-name purple skewers.

Cannondale SM800 'Beast of the East' nonsense with a fully polished frame and Yellow forks. God only knows why they were Yellow!

I hated it.

It just beat me up.

I was quickly taken by Titanium frames...

2nd bike was a 1990 GT Tequesta with a purple and white sort of wet-bleeding paint job – fantastic bike, totally bomb-proof and fully rigid. I guess it is the reason for my love of u-braked GTs

Another great machine that fell to thieving f%$@ers back in the '90s – isn't it amazing just how many of us have fallen foul of that.

After the GT came the Rocky Team Comp and I think that one will be with me to the end.

lockwork

a beautiful 1996 orange clockwork in orange and White, from No Sweat in barnstaple north Devon.


I can still feel the lower back pain of a 19 in frame with a zero degree stem 150mm long.

It was the time when mtb's were getting nicked, therefore I used to keep it my bedroom cuboard

One day I will get another one

'93 Plum coloured Orange Clockwork

I think I paid £265 for the frame/forks and put mostly DX on it.

Twas a truly great bike, and the skinny skinny forks absorbed so much noise.

Shame I sold it to someone at work and see it most days, bah....

Tange infinity - ahhhh

my second mtb was a 1993 marin bear valley se.... i had a muirwoods for a couple of months but my dad got fed up with me coming back from every ride saying "i just broke... i need a new..." so he bought me the bear valley... in fact it was a slippery slope for him 'cos i just got more and more into bikes and wanted more and more stuff
that bike ended up getting nicked whilst me and a mate were in a shop buying 'sweets' (fags)... the old man offered a £250 reward for it's( and my mates Gary Fisher) return in the local paper but to no avail... got a 16" Lava Dome as a replacement which i guess was my third bike and another story....
