Hey thats awsome. It was a growing sport back in the early eighties. And by the time the 90's came about it was a sport enjoyed by many.
I started out on a Dimondback and broke plenty of them before getting an old Hutchenson. Man the thing was found at the thrift store, (we would hunt for parts there(a gold mine)). Ran the parts and the frame for a long time before out growing it.
I Raced in FLA for some time and did very well. Progressing through Nationals and getting a name for my self. Once I had a frame built for me (By Cyclecraft) and hand delivered at the Christmas Classic in Culombus, Ohio (second floor at the Mariot)I even got to pick the color of the frame and fork, 93' Eagle talon Green. I got to choose all the demisions of the front and rear triangles, head tube and seat tube angles. Even added a wish bone for rearend strenth.
Man, after typing that sort of thing. I don't regrete the sore bones. I hope this adveture turns out the same way. Without the sore parts! Iv'e been all over the country, sponcered, had the best of parts, loved by fans and ranked at something.
The fun was there!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />
