MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Check out…
The bike – Scott Octane MBR test bike with press preview 9 speed LX transmission! I borrowed it because a certain magazine editor had about 12 of them in his front room and was sick of tripping over it. I could keep it until Scott asked for it back, they never did. It finally died as a result of a bearing collapse whilst riding in The Lakes on my stag do 9 years later! Great bike. I miss it.
The shoes – Spesh Rockhoppers with orange laces
The clothes, gloves and helmet – Shakes head. A grown man dressed in day-glow colours. 🙄
The shades – Green and gold Oakley Eye Jackets IIRC
The evidence of hair – Long since gone
The “hysterical” sign post – Now replaced with a “Welcome to Bolton” one.

Is that a bum-bag or a spinal injury?
my other half raced one of those scotts around 95/96 time (while I raced an LTS1!!), did quite well on the national xc rankings reaching eighth in the UK for sport women.
When we sold it though we realised that during 2 years of racing (winter series too) the rear shock hadnt moved more than 2mm because she wasnt heavy enough to move it...
Need to start scanning some of those pics...
