I particularly like the third picture from the bottom. A clear example of why no clips and high saddles made sense. Birng back berm moves and contact!

Photo's 5,6 and 7 were taken at the 1987 champion of champions. They were held at the National cycle festival at Himley Hall Park, Dudley, Birmingham. The track was built for the that Weekend.

Isn't it great to see all of the really high seatposts?  Remember when we used to sit down in a corner?  Beats the hell out of these slammed seats these days.  :daumenhoch:

the kits changed so much in a short time.

Pop along to Daggers and watch the old school race. There's plenty of contact and berm moves going on there. And for real carnage go to Hersden.  :LolLolLolLol:
