its brilliant

quick question – reminded me to search for a post 2-3weeks ago? about being able to pre-order a book on amazon that covers that period- I know the guy posts on here quite often and I thought user name was repack but can’t find post – would like to order the book (and think probably deserves a bump or 2)

Repack or repack rider – is Charlie Kelly (as in THE Charlie Kelly or CeeKay)

‘away from the cops, cars and concrete is best.’

Amazing! Never seen this before but it basically sums up how I feel when i ride my Krampus.
I own a Klunker and never even knew it!

This is brilliant timing for me as I was reading the article about this in the MBUK History of Mountain Biking magazine on the train this afternoon, it’s nice to see some footage as well as the stills and description in the magazine 🙂

found the link to the book and I’m happy to post it again – looking forward to reading it – being able to watch a bit of film like that is really something – before the wonder of the internet might only have surfaced at some obscure film festival

…Amazon are taking advance orders. I’ll be in Marin in late September, fingers crossed he’ll sign my copy.

Enjoyed that, thanks for sharing.

Often thought about seeing if I could organise a back to basics DH race, bikes have to be steel framed, rim or drum brakes, no suspension, 26″ rims. Forest road course. Modern safety kit would be allowed but has to be worn with (or under) 70s style clothing – time bonuses for authentic costumes, flat pedals only, 2″ wide tyres max ( was thinking about a mandatory control tyre). The whole idea is bikes shouldn’t really cost any more than £150 but that may be hard to police.
Thought it would be better as part of a weekend with races on the Sunday. Beer, BBQ, bands and a boogie on sat night, practice on the sat pm.

Just a pipe dream

That Gary Fisher guy, what happened to him?
