• Is that your own club roost?

    Negative. It was a village bicycle; passed amongst friends over a number of years in exchange of cash. I’d love to know where it ended up!

    I’ve always been XC:
    GT Paloma > Saracen Kili Flyer (Factory team bike) > Merlin Malt 4 > Schwinn Moab (UK Factory team bike!) rounded out my ‘00 bikes.
    Pretty lucky here, we have good XC heritage with a number of age group nation champs. I used to snaffle the team bikes on the cheap at the end of the year having washed many pots at the local pub. Then just leant them up on the bike rack at school with no lock…. Those were the days!
