    you guys should watch a documentary called klunkers if you haven't seen it already, I feel it has changed my perspective on mountain biking in general!

    :lol: Damned right. I'm with Sonic here. Been riding long enough to remember bikes before V-brakes and suspension forks were even an option, and although I look back on those great days of my youth, the bikes were crap, and it wasn't the bikes that made those years great.

    Agree entirely.... Attention seeking, pointless, humourless, pedantic replies a 'Cooldad' specialty...
    So... you've been here just over a month it seems, and you're already making such assumptions about another poster? Wow. Pull that stick from where the sun don't shine and lighten up.

    + many, many potatoes. When I was riding a cruddy Carrera Impetus in the late 90's, I didn't have fun because of rigid forks and steel frames; I had fun in spite of them. The only people that care about Steel frames and rigid forks are retroheads and fixie-fixated hipsters. They can have them; I for one do not miss the old ways.

    Or folk who mentally link the fun of youth with the equipment they had.
    Basically, gear-freaks. Always obsessing over the gear, rather than just enjoying the moment.

    I know, I just like the notion that the only people who like iron fixies are "people" who ARE hippies, and people who AREN'T hippies!
