I'll have this please if @Thrasher doesn't take.

Weren't the Canadians like Rocky Mountain and Brodie the first to move to the sloping top-tubes? @Rod_Saetan would probably know.

1988 Rocky Mountain Avalanche.

Noted.

Yummie, that Zaskar.

1988 Kona Explosif. That Joe Murray bloke knew what he was doing

Wow, I bet that early Explosif is worth a few quid. Mint.

@campervangogh great pictures by the way, where are they from?

That Raleigh comes from the Polish guy I bought my Panasonic MC Pro from. I recognize the setting. ;)

@lmananimal sorry but @Thrasher did want them so they are en route to that part of town.

Evans sell a Raliegh 26' fork 1' for not much, about £25 last I saw.

Like most things MTB the sloping top tube was probably first done by Charlie Cunningham, see here: http://cunninghambikes.com/bicycle-gallery/

WTB Phoenix is probably the sloping top-tubist of them all...
