    Timberline! This was my first proper bike. Mine was a '91 I think. Was grey with the speckled paint.

    Loved that bike.

    Yeh, it was my first proper MTB, got it out of my garage at the weekend to see how it looked against my new bike. I went everywhere on it. The only things I have had to replace were the crank bearing, tyres and tubes since i got it and the handle bars and grips as i fancied a change from the originals. Everything else is standard. Carn't make my mind up whether to sell it or keep it and do it up!!!!!!!

    Love the paint job!
    I had a 1994 FS version which I bought cheap because the fork had been replaced with a black chromo one.
    Would love to get hold of it again.

    I've always liked the Merlin bikes too actually... I remember riding to their shop in Ormskirk on my Timberline. Bought some SPDs and shoes from them.

    OK... now I have to take a proper picture of mine (which may be '91 as grey speckled paint sounds about right). My Timberline is as original apart from an odd suspension stem and M324s... and more rust. The stem was a replacement after an embarassing bike-on-car-roof-vs-garage-door incident, and was the only one I could find to fit at the time.

    Hmm... now I look at it, there are more mods... brake bossters, bar ends... anyway, it's somewhere in all this lot :D

    Thats the one!

    The grey job on the right. I always love the Exage rear brakes as it looked meatier than all my mates back brakes. I'm pretty sure it was 91 but could be wrong.

    I have the same 92 which I'd like to replace the bottom bracket on. I'm struggling to remove the thing any advice?

    Yes, thread resurrections after 30months are daft and why not use the workshop section like everyone else?
