Rigid can be fun on the right sort of terrain

Pentlands last year, 1990 Stumpy:

That's nice is that. Are those 1990 tyres as well? I found my old Smokes in the garage last year, was tempted to try them but they'd started to crumble into dust

'Old skool' enough?

My arm is twisted – once more I roll out the retro pics…

stumpjumper classic, cannondale totally retro classic of all time! and lovely kona,and druid what make is that bike? your photo druid sums up the sheer essence of mountain biking! these four bikes have really made my day, thanks a million gents!

I still have this from back in the day,i`m not hard enough to ride it much off road nowadays. Sunn 500r.

This old boy is still going,but not much use… 1995 kona Hahanna.

In France a couple of years ago

There must be loads in this pic, I got the black top with yellow sleeves!!… SSUK 06, one of ayatollahfnince pics.

This went 1×9 after this pic and sadly got stolen later on.

Maybe I need a new SS rigid… ?

Bumpy but fun on a rigid bike:

Nah, much more recent than that… IRC Mythos XC, don't think they're all that old. Do have an old Dart/Smoke set that look in reasonable nick though, will be giving them a go.

Rare picture of somebody actually riding a rigid rather than parked against a gate / fence / tree / post 🙂

Pic is my wife at Italian SS champs – no doubt somebody will be along soon saying she should have hucked off the top…..

Mountain Biking Hard Men? Well that can't be right as i have one

Nice to see some V brake action in there. I think the disc was as liberating as the suspension fork.

Proper rigid bikes have canti brakes…

Fixie fun on 4X track:

Mine.
Used today to comute home.

it didn't quite make it to the end of that summer

I seem to remember riding that bike for [apparently] 48 hours solid, stopping only for beers at The Crown… 8)

Mostly pretty shonky, which is the surly way, but the pace rc31's are amazing.

I haven't ridden my geared susser for 6 months.

My Cotic….

Another 1×1 here…currently that and my roadrat are my only rideable bikes…

AdamT – that is truly hardcore. Rigid, singlespeed and chainless…
