Whats the rarest mountain bike in the world?

Yup, I think the MCR Descender was on the cover of the first edition of Mountainbike Action that I ever bought.

All the best,

Re: Re:

I'le plumb for the lovely one off Danson on The Gates ride recently

I thought everyone had a Danson?

(OK, OK, it's not a Mountain bike, but I did ride it along some North Downs Bridleways for a couple of hours the other day)

Re: Re:

Surely that exact spec never happened until the early 90s at least :shock:

Must say that i guessed the year but considering that bob sticha made his first disc brakes in 1987, and Gripshift CX DT are from from 1989...

Surprised no-ones mentioned this Klein Attitude? Obviously a prototype of some kind.

Re:

A 1984/1985 MCR Descender…
I would love to find one !

Reigniting this old thread.

The one above is absolutely pinnacle.

All the yellow! The rigid fork! The short boxy stem!

And, now having seen one (the original one?) in the flesh this past weekend in Marin, I too have moved this bad boy up to the top of the Unicorn Wishlist.

I bet it rides terribly.

And I give exactly zero f**ks.

GIMME!

(Anyone want to see a shit load of photos? If so, I'll give it it's own thread. It warrants it.)

if its a mass market production bike I imagine anything by MS Racing would qualify unless there is another 1 year mass market brand that had a smaller production run.
