Yep, this. I don't think the UCI inspect pantomime performers ;)

stayer rider on inside, really great to see eddie the eagle doing something positive with his life

28H Dura Ace rims and those FFWDs look like rebadged bits and pieces

28H Dura Ace rims...look like rebadged bits and pieces

Shimano have always had non-stock drilling available to sponsored riders, the rims are probably custom drilled WH-7850-C50-TU pieces

Beyond the fanboy brands these OG mtbs just remind me of halfords.

Dream bike gaston?

U must b young.

These are the things we middle aged fellows lusted after as children in the late 80s/early 90s. Pouring over the catalogues and dreaming of one day being able to own one.

For some reason my dream was a Raleigh Dune Dancer. A low goal, perhaps, but a spaceship compared to the Raleigh Amazon I eventually got.

Besides, Halfords was ok when they were blue, white and red, it's only since they went orange they became jokes.

Young at heart maybe. My gate sized Peugeot Puma would suggest otherwise. (Dad thought I would grow into it) Lust for me came in the form of Konas / Marins / GT / Orange / Kleins anodised to the nines. Not a chromed rim / tan wall in sight.
