Video: 1990s Trials Throwback!

by 0

When we were off at the GT Malverns Classic, Dieter got so excited (even more excited than usual!) about all the retro trials bikes that we couldn’t help feeling a little bit tingly ourselves. Even if you weren’t there, or never actually owned a trials bike, or couldn’t even do ze wheelie, we think this video will have you enthused about the golden age of hopping about.

As Dieter points out, it’s a very accessible gateway into show bikes and retrobike builds. Before you know it, you might have a loft full of bikes you only dreamed of as a young thing!

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.
