Probably was mate - I only ever did one back then. I should have done plenty more but didn't have the parents backing me like a lot of the younger guys in the club at that time Bought the bike second hand. I was 16 at the time - bought on the day of the hillsborough disaster.
Was an awesome bike, coloumbus tubing, italian bb, mixed 600, DA, open 4 cd's. Bloody light.
Was a fairly small frame. Sold it about 10 years ago for about £120.
Winnats is the only hill ever to have defeated me and I'm a stubborn fecker and would rather fall off at that age than get off (I fell off on winnats).
