Jez Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 (edited) When no-one knew what a mod was, much less who the hell megamo or monty were.When the only trials riders anyone could name were the Marti/yns and Hans ReyDX V-Brakes for those who couldn't afford Tomac maggysThe eternal IRC vs Tioga debateSofa saddlesHeavy Tools trials framesWhen having a light frame was a bad thing - it would break.Sidehop dropsWhen everyone would ride trials in the morning and then go down the jumps in the afternoon. On the same bike.For any ex-Solihull people: Jeanster Bench and the Memorial "Rock walks"Ball burnished Zaskars with every colour of anodised component you could getAlivio cantis with Koolstop reds on 'emPace forks being the dog's gonadsCrud Catchers, regardless of whether you needed one or notGetting my copy of Chainspotting signed by the Martins, Hans Rey, and Steve Peat (I think...coulda been Rob Warner) at Bike '98Rob WarnerAndrew TitleyJez AveryEveryone quoting Chainspotting at every opportunityThe word 'Phat'Wellgo V8 copies (I own a pair of V12 copies still)Wondering where the hell I was gonna get a replacement tyre for the back of my X-Lite when it started wearing downAnd for all who mentioned 32T bashrings, Gings, IRC tyres, yellow Wellgos and Sun Rhyno Lites, here's something special for you. My old pride and joy:Now THIS is a pair of shades:And the world's most abused X-Lite (my pride and lack of joy every time it broke), complete with absolutely monstrous BMX chain that weighed about 2Kg: Edited November 24, 2006 by Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
