Something colourful from the 90s

[Nigel-YZ1]

Blimey!!, is that still there??

Yes, same Dave Marsh, or I always understood it to be

There's still a website up and running.
I was there about 3 years ago. Dave replaced an Ax600 aero crankset with a standard ax600 for me.

You know what is the stroke of genius? it's using an electrical connecter at the end of the brake cable instead of the same old squashed lead thingy, colour coordinated of course.

I used to have an Orbit America that was fluorescent orange/yellow/pink

(bought new from 'Two-Wheels Good' in 1991, or '92)

Unless I discover genuine Eskimo pornography, this picture is my favourite thing on the Internet. Ever.

That's a thing of beauty.

WOT?

Boy George?

WOT?

Boy George?

Aye, why not? I'll give anything a go once.

These would go nice with the bike

I read that plastering your name all over a bike is a good way to prevent theft. I think Dave's bike was fairly safe anyway TBH!

Why?
That was when I was commuting home from Leeds city-centre at 18:00, so visibility/stand out 'ishness') was the main criteria!

The tights were 'Troll' rock-climbing items, as far as I can recall. I had a pair of black & white Zebra striped too!

Now more sensible. Dave is still there, 400 yds away from me.

Neatly sums up my memories of 90s cycling. Ludicrously coloured bicycles and clothing. Most clothes these days seem tame in comparison.

Are you sure?

I used to wear would never dream of wearing the Troll Jester trousers.
BAsicaly out door trousers like Rohan or Similar but with every panel, knee patch, pocket etc a different colour. Each pair was unique
