Used to love that Sintesi and a guy we used to meet out on the trail used to have a Lawill that used to make me jealous!

Waiting for a flood of Kleins now. (never liked them for some reason)

haven't got the pics to hand but for me it would be the Kona Explosif c1996 - I still have this frame and the Trek Y33 which I was desperate to own in yellow carbon and never did - I'd buy one now if I could.

pants try again 😉

[Another bike which caught my attention- I think I copied the paintwork on a DIY BMX paint job.

I think I've still got the 1989 Kona Catalogue. I had a Fire Mountain at the time, but always lusted after the Brodies at the back of the catalogue

couldn't miss this one out 😉

I lusted after a S/works steel bike for years finally bought one in 1995

Still love it, on the road / fire roads cos I am getting to be a soft shite nowadays

I have to admit looking at these it shows how much bikes have moved on. I used to have versions of both Paces, and an '89 Kona Explosif, and apart from sentimental reasons, I can't imagine if I still had them I'd ever use them in anger over something like a Turner 5-Spot or a 456!

Pace RC200 was always the bike I lusted after, could never afford one in those days.

'93 Kona Explosif.
