Did a bit of a clean today and realize I may have a bit of a problem! Love these seats!

Let’s continue the nostalgic vibes and post up retro pics and/or gear of yours.

So at my folks place, going through a box last opened over 10 years ago and finding all manner of 90s mtb paraphernalia. Race results, trail maps, components, posters, dirt rags, mtb fiction, etc. Here are a couple snaps:

Sweet box. Think it can be recycled now. From our first home computer.

My grandmother died this fall. My mom brought back a bunch of keepsakes and this paper was among them. I forgot I had made the front of my school newspaper! This is such a great stair gap. (Fall 2002)

Was sorting out my garage/workshop corner the other day. I have far too many old bikes, not all are in shot.

How was innerelithen?
Surprisingly good. The forest was hit pretty badly in the last storm so loads of sections of trail are still covered in fallen trees. But with a bit of re routing and race tape what is left actually rode really nice. And felt refreshingly new. Despite not really being. A bit like when 2 or 3 old trails are used for a DH race but taped together with new race links. The tunnel and make or brake are obliterated. As is Barts. Argry bird and not for poofs.

Yeah I knew it was hit, hopefully some of the trails sorted and fixed
