Yellow riders in 2011 were Gilbert, Hushovd, Voeckler, Andy Schlek and Evans. Not familiar with their signatures, but does not look particularly like any of them.

Lovely bike and view! Bought my 93 Eldridge new back in the day, and can never really understand why I sold it.

The 'one bike' is the one you have yet to acquire.

54, in todays world that's young for cross racing. Quite some years ago I was 53 when I did my first cross race.

It might solve Azaro's problem, but I think I'm beyond any help.

Enjoying all these local to me scenes.

My understanding is the distributors can continue to order direct from the factories(as they always have), but only until the albeit cosiderable existing stocks are used up.

Long shot, but if you can find a local company, or better still know someone who works in one, that exports or imports see if they will allow you to pay to use their preferred shipper. Price differential between company rates and private individuals are usually considerable.

Any form of suspension, I fitted too many front suspension front forks to rigid bikes in the early nineties.

Nothing particularly exciting BUT... My wife rides a similar fame size to myself and some bikes seemed to have shared ownership at times. Tried to exclude ones that were specifically hers, but can't remember for sure. 1987 Raleigh Maverick 1988 Saracen Blizzard 1989 Saracen Tufftrax 1991...

This is a bit of an odd one. Probably early 90's a UK magazine featured an Ibis with a brazed on rear brake cable hanger in the shape of a clenched fist. At least my fading memory thinks they did. Thought that was a 'cool bike' at the time and recently recalled it. Would anyone know, or even...

Pair my garage somewhere, can't be remember when they were bought, but guess mid 90's.

Saracen for me, had a few back in the day, Couple of Tufftrax, an Andes and for my sins an all white Bizzard.

Hi Mark Will definitely aim for your May one , load the car with bits. Unfortunately next month not possible, off to watch Paris Roubaix, been wanting to go or many years, now happening. Regards Roger

Hi Mark Hope a,l went well. Was this a one off, or do you organise others? I did not realise until too late, but would be really interested if there will be another.

I'm waiting to give it a vote in the next bike of the month compo.

Now the Ark, my go to local bike shop since 87. No longer Chris and Charlotte, but still really helpful and friendly shop.

I 'm sure you are right 4th, but I do wonder what they will be like after 30 or 40 years. Though I will be long gone by then.

The big problem is the differene between what an individual pays and a company negotiated rate. I retired at the end of November, my company allowed all employees to ship personal parcels at their negotiated contract price. I shipped a bike with two extra wheels middle of November next day...

Just read the entire thread, nothing to add I'm afraid. My first involvement was not until late 87. One of the most interesting things I have read in a longwhile. So much knowledge and amazing memories.
