What better way of ensuring the survival of the creed we all love than by sporting some of the fabulous merchandise available. The RetroBike crew have commissioned some of the top designers to create a unique set of apparel that will stand you out from the crowd and help spread the message. Along with the awesome racing jerseys which were worn by all those in attendance at Mountain Mayhem there are casuals T’s and Freeride jerseys for those who prefer a less figure hugging look.. Check out the Shop or drop John a PM to check what is available.. RetroBike does not pay for itself and JV has gone to a lot trouble to source this stuff so your support is appreciated !!

..and what a fine two years it's been as well! Let's hear your thoughts in the forum.

Nice Job Mike !
