Steel is real!
My trek stache is the last one I would give..

Of all my bikes, still have a spectralon, another trek: the rigid fork superfly, a KHS small urban/dirtjump and a 26 full sus stumpyjumper.
The geometry and possibillity of set up as singlespeed and the use of fattires is what I most like on these trek bikes designed by Gary Fisher
will show the other ones later on

Huge Spesh fan so between my Stumpy, Enduro and my new Status, I'll always have an excuse to swing a leg over a regular bike.
P.s. please don't call them 'analog' or 'acoustic'.
Yhew ?

The only one I've kept and not ridden for quite a few years. Thousands and thousands of miles on her and at least 4 drive trains from Florida to IL, Colorado and California as well as Utah and Arizona - all back in day the when a dropper post was a stupid spring and 3x8 drivetrains were considered cool and 3 x 9 was epic. Well before tapered steerer tubes and when 2.5" travel was considered a lot...I still have warm fuzzies when I think of the day I ditched the cantilevers for v-brakes.

I remember that mountain cycle, the owner of my LBS has his old trek Y-Bike on the wall...those were the good ole days.
Awaiting the return of the Merida with new forks this week so last night had a quick blast on "Old Faithful"!
1995 GT Team RTS frame, mainly Shimano XT groupset with Manitou forks. Only weighs about 25lbs/11Kg! Felt amazing until I needed to do a short, sharp climb! That had me huffing and puffing...
Need to give it some serious TLC over the summer. Thinking strip down and rebuild.

Talking of retro.... I need to have a clear out after the arrival of the electric wonder bike. This beauty will probably be the first to go. Please form an orderly queue...

Is that even safe to ride?
I'd be wanting Zimmerframe levels of armour to try that out!
What does it ride like?

A few years ago it was my only MTB. I used it for the London to Brighton off road ride 2016. Got it running in the previous lockdown & it rides fine - nowadays you'd say it was an XC bike spec. I set a (strava) PB on this - super twisty track in a pine forest, the only place it was quicker than the Cotic I rode then. These date from 2004 - forks were crap back then, so a few had different ideas .
Cool, very bold design!
You should see if Doddy on GMBNTech wants it. He's got an MTB museum
The 2006 Gen 1 Nomad has now departed to the great mtb graveyard in the sky ..
The 2017 Whyte T130rs is still at home though gifted to my son ..
Currently having the following work done ..

My 27.5+ Genesis Tarn 20, it's had a few upgrades since that pic was taken, but it's packed away.
2014 Charge Cooker 4 29er. I bent this frame on the Cairngorm Loop by hitting a very boggy patch and going OTB in a very stylish way.
I basically did a front flip and the impact ripped the rear wheel out of the dropouts, had to stamp on the rear triangle to get it narrow enough to get the wheel back in so could ride the 10 or so miles back to civilisation! It's in bits in the shed now.
I've also got 2 gravel bikes, a high mileage Norco Search 3 (in bits) and a brand new Genesis CDA 30.
