I can ask this Question this year

, seeing as I don't ride my 1992 TNT anymore

( I love that bike )

My Race steed of choice is my 1983 GT Pro 4 Nora , all 18.5 inches of genuine O/S

So who else is riding proper Pre 87 bikes this year at MK

I've never understood why there is a Novice class at MK $:-\$ , everyone in O/S racing are of all abilities at a normal race meet

So will next year introduce a O/S Pre 87 and Mid school race class , same as the show and shine classes.

BTW no objection whatsoever to Mid riding with old ( as I rode a 92 no lugs ) , just like I dont mind cruiser in with 20's in O/S class all is just for fun

More the merrier

just like to see who's gonna be racing the oldest bike

mm sorry guys my ride is 1988

...easier for the 'less tall' riders to manage on lickle bikes

I couldn't fit on a normal 20" even back then - I was on cruisers and pro frames all through my teens.

Anyway, I might race an '84 Falcon Cruiser in the near future; it's pretty short and tall....

It was only at MK09 I rode my TNT , at MK08 I rode another GT Pro Nora, that was also a 1983

Big T keeping it real

" lees tall riders " Jon ?

I like your diplomacy Jon

Whereas JJ ( Baldbmxer) just comes out ans says I'm a fookin hobbit

But yeah Old school bikes are smaller 19.5 and below usually , that what the class is about

Big Stu , in the early days must've been over 6' and riding 17" TT with Banana seats

Even in the years upto 1987 big Pro riders like Patterson bros and Andy Patterson , Pistol Pete

had to ride bikes Pre 87 ,,,, because ,,,,,errrrrr ,,they hadn't invented mid school at that time

Carl stop pussying around and get your name down , no novice class business either ,most of O/S is novice and a top laugh too

You're a decent rider I believe ,, all you have to do is stay on

Matt, I remember your thread last year mate

, the same crusade as our very own Dan dare .

The crusade for a true Old school class , but still the majority tend to steer toward the later bikes for the 20.5 plus size .

Thing is , yes it's good to do , but do it get it out your system

and get back on summat small, twitchy

and same as ALL the guys were riding when WE were watching the Kelloggs Championships

Our Heroes did it ,,,,,,,so should we
