found this the other day so scanned it. I’m sure there are plenty of ‘early’ roadie pics but this is the first mtb one I have, late 80’s I think.

Anyone got any ealier ones? (don’t even begin to try guessing where it was...)

First ever production MTB

you’ve aged well there Johnny!

Sorry to take so long to join in Johna

Here is a motley group of early mountainbikers. No suspension yet and a couple of riders sporting new fangled hard hats!

Bonus points for identifying the riders. Older caferacers will know, and Brucey although its just before your time I think Bruce.

Fred Dibnah second in from left.

Close but no cigar, Fred was taking the picture.

that on Boss Moor?

Hazy memory, but I think its either between Hetton and Bordley or near Winterburn.

That’s it.
