  • What should go in the mountainbike hall of fame and not-so-fame?

    I wish there was a bike museum, with all the coolest stuff that has been made that could've and with loads of cabinets downstairs full of random kit that you thought 'why?'. And if there was one, this is some of the stuff I'd put in:

    Sprung 1-5 (on constant play in the Museum cinema)
    Anything that John Tomac was sponsored to ride/wear
    The first ever production GT RTS (the gold one with spin wheels)
    The 90's skinny tubed xc hardtails (Hei Hei, Kilauea, Xizang, DeKerf, etc)
    The 90's soft tails (Ritchey, DeKerf)
    Paul's Components Rear Mech
    Jason McRoy's Spesh
    Onza Porcupines (white)
    Girvan Flexstem (why?)
    The Mint Sauce strip that first went from black and white to colour.

    And that's all I can think of right now.

    A mate of mine had one of those Kirks. Was a bit bendy and heavy if I remember rightly.

    Old Doggs Bollx (or however you spell it) in the hall of fame, they were quality.

    The 90's skinny tubed xc hardtails (Kilauea)

    MASSIVELY regret selling mine for next to nowt and quitting riding back then.

    Onza Porcupines (white)

    my kilauea had a pair of those on when i sold it. they lasted about a month, they were such a soft compound! looked pretty sweet on a dark blue skinny tubed bike though…

    The first Rock Shox suspension fork, the RS1.
    I think you'd have to have a set of Mag 21 SL Ti in there as well. I remember when THE bike to be seen on was a GT RTS1 with Mag 21 SL forks.
    Probably a set of snowflake wheels on display as well.
    Royce hubs.
    A Slingshot MTB.
    The first edition Pace hardtail, the fully square tubed one. With Pace forks obviously.
    Some fluoro lycra.
    A first edition XTR groupset.

    DCD's – remember them? great for making your driveline sound sh*te!

    Still fit my red DCD if I'm going somewhere really rocky. Simple and it works. Def in the hall of fame.

    What about the Overburys Pioneer? Looked way ahead of its time.

    The Mountain Cycle San Andreas:

    Way ahead of it's time it was one of the first full sus designs, the first to use inverted forks and the basic design is still going today.
