The same guy is building the bikes, but we're putting better stickers on them now!
For all you Manitou fans
This is Tom Rogers- he's the race/r+d guy at Marzocchi USA these days.

you know you are old when you remember bike reviews from the early 80's....This is not a mountainbike and I don't care.
Watching someone crash in a river crossing and seeing the bike floating was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.the Y22 cabon's were pretty trick for the day
loved these:
That explains so much.I get to feel retro every other day. This is my main bike.
jdcamb iz Bikerfox??
No crocs or a mullet. Rochester is the Tulsa of New York however. Nevermind I couldn't ride a wheelie to save my life....
Always wanted one. Guy I worked for had a new one every other year, his custom painted in his shop colors. Neon yellow is not a good color for a beautiful handbuilt bike...Ritchey P-21, now my town bike.
One of my favorite looking bikes of all time. I have that magazine somewhere.The same guy is building the bikes, but we're putting better stickers on them now!
It came out of a mountain bike mag before they stopped being separate from bicycling. It was like a "coast to coast" special with the spooky being east coast. That bike was the hottest thing in 96
Review:
It's interesting to know that Chris Herting and FTW(both founders of Yeti) are the only people that have ever built Darksides. Eastcoast pride, SoCal and Durango roots.
And at least in the UK this was the coolest bike of 1998:
And '99

I think I can scan some pictures of mine. A damn fine road bike. I doubt there are many of them kicking around.
By Halson. It was air, correct?
Dual Slalom for life.
RL!
(note Walkman taped to helmet).
Pterodactyl bars- The original batch was 32" wide.

a buddy of mine still has one with the pink and purple colorwaysLoved pretty much everything about these back in the day.
I gotta get some pictuers of my Schwinn Homegrown Carbon, what a pretty bike with such stupid suspension.
+ rep, name it
the URT version? i had a aluminum version and a S20
That's an MRC I'm pretty damn sure.+ rep, name it
hey mickey, did you get my email last night?
yeah! and what model?
Boom Shaka or some stupid sh:t like that.
Remember when it was a good idea to wear your armor to keep the welts from getting too big on your arms?
B.U.F.F.
Hey mickey, do you like dual slalom or something? I hear it's coming back. Thought you'd be excited to know.

speaking of slalom, i have a cheeta dual slalom frame that's still sitting in my garage. full built almost, needs a derailer i think, and some better brakes n tires.
yup, talk about a high forward pivot! Too bad the rider is unsprung weight
is it FS or hardtail?
mine? hardtail
not mine but same exact frame. Mine has a pretty **** build on it as I spent all my money on the frame itself. Cane Creek will make a shock the right size for the rear.
i had one of these with a Z2 bam
and this

I wanted a homegrown hard tail so bad back then but I was on a steel trek at the time and had just built the carbon monstrosity.
I tried riding it the other day and could barely get my hands close together enough to hold the handlebars. I can't believe we rode bikes like that at one point.

yup, except mine is red.
went under, not sure of details as to when ( i wanna say early 2000's?) or why. they were originally a bmx company who then expanded into mtb / gravity - only ever made the slalom frame and a (horrible) dh bike.
man i wanted one of those rare Cheeta prowler dual slalom frames they had so bad,...
eh? IIRC the hardtail was the only slalom frame they made... the prowler was their DH bike. the bb height was between 15" and 16". horrible.
