The Curtis
 
a couple of my old bikes are on pink bike. i had an azonic steelhead frame when they first came out, my frame was number 0003. waaaay before they got popular. but it weighed more than my giant DH rig, and that was a tank.
 
jst found this thread. lol,
i used to be mad into ridin' done lots of downhill and freeriding then got into trials.
i broke / sold all my bikes now, part from my trusty onza 20incher. still jump around on that now and again.
after christmas im gunna try and get a hold of a stinky or a big hit and get back in to it.
 
Wow, a suprising amount of riders!
I used to be into riding downhill, raced for a couple of months but it got expensive so just went back to normal riding. Did a lot of DJing as well, but broke my foot riding BMX few months back and havn't ridden since...Plus I can drive now haha.
Used to race on this, its in bits now though.

Click to expand...

just noticed this :D
my work has a 06 coiler going for 850 needs new forks though
 
I did the Manchester to Blackpool bike ride back in July. Took like 7 hrs as i did no training, rode a mountain bike with all around tyres and had dodgy gears meaning i had to flick up 2 and down 1 to go up 1 gear and then down 2 and up one to go down 1 gear lol...

apart from that it was an amazing experience and i will be doing it again next year (hopefully on a better bike, roll on the cycle to work scheme)
 
looks like i'm the only one for road racing/time trailing then, oh well... :blush:

my old ralligh road bike hasnt seen the light of day since i got my first car - might try and ressurect it for the summer, although i suspect replaicing the rusted parts will be prohibitive....

my dads got a hand-built Claude Butler road race frame knocking around somewhere too, my grandad used to race with him and had Claude build him a bike for his birthday - sadly its too small for either of us now tho :(
