Wow, had just been talking to someone about Hanebrink the other day!

Think fatbikes are a new niche? Check the date...

They also were way ahead of the game with regards to bouncy bikes, working with SE on this in '85

Many pay more to ride on trail centres, start on them.

cynic-al

that's bloody true. all the gear, no idea........
some dude turned up in his van down the local t'other day with "the entire Park tools range" and a Heckler in the back of his transporter. it was very funny watching the kids ride circles around him [and me]

I'm just bored on a friday.

hanebrink did the 1st proper long trave forks i seem to remember.

also, i hired a bike/thing similatr to that, in courcheval in 2002.
it did not have pedals, just pegs for your feet.
200mm travel converted motor bike forks, rode down the dh course on it all day.
very good fun.
