    I hereby predict early 1980's MTB's to be the next **Big Thing**.

    Forget about 42:12, hip 'n grovvy is now 48:38:28.

    With a Adamas gruppo mix. 😄

    was riding behind someone on one of those things last weekend on the
    1:20 (going downhill).
    she was scooting along at around 50kph on that beast, and is certainly
    a lot braver than me in doing so🙂

    Hmm. Got one of those, with Suntour written on it. No, you can't have it.

    Dave - who may end up putting it on the retro-ish singlespeed.

    Yup. Don't know about bothering to take it North though. Depends how
    much spare room in the truck.

    I hit about 75km/h down the warrandyte hill on my first BR. For quite
    a while, I was faster that time than I was once I got the roady.
    There is one benefit to a heavy extremely non-twitchy bike 🙂
