Al_Fel Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Remember when Tioga tyres were the tyres to have? but were totally shit ha ha.Remember when DMR ring thngs and fsa cranks were all the rage but the spider on the cranks was off set so the cut out on the bashguard didn't line up.What are your "Remember whens"? I've got loads more but its more fun when other people add to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Cox Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 when having a set of power pros ( in red of course), a dcd and your seat slammed meant your mountain bike was a trials bike now Ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Remember when a 3ft up was big?It still is for you...Seriously though Alan, you should know better. You know threads like this make me cry! I remember small GT frames being the nuts, first set of HS33s, front wheel hops and learning squeakers. Plus a whole lot more... like first rides in London, and everyone worshipping British riders not these pesky foreigners!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomR Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 A steel DMR sidekick was 'trials specific'When EVERYONE had raceline yellow maguras.When you could still actually do wheelies because you had a seat high enough that you didnt rub your arse on the wheel.(for people near bedford/luton/dunstable) When attitude cycles was still open!
