I find that charming. How did you know it wasn't just a fad?

That's how I started, whilst wearing Karrimor KSB1s?

I think I may still have the bolt so 75p wasn't so bad after all. The only other bits I have are the front wheel and for some reason the cantilever brakes. And yes I rode for 4 or 5 years with toe clips until I went to spd's.
As for it being a fad there really weren't enough mtb's around for it to be a fad, I could ride all day on the South Downs and only very rarely saw anyone else out for the first couple of years. - I'd already spent 2 years off roading on my Coventry Eagle so I wasn't really trying anything new to me.
Just about the best thing I ever bought.Posted 8 months ago # -
you'd have had to wait about 4 and a half years for spd's to come out folowed shortly by ( hush) rockshox's.. my first bike was £399 from two wheels good in the centre of leeds in early 89 went back the next week and got a pair of very very heavy steel yellow onza bar ends for about 36 quid.. thought they were the dogs! bought a clockwork from stif about 6 months later ( they were still selling sailboards(?) from a lock up!)
