a scary photo from my long haired past – steel Marin no suspension 32lbs beast. Cycling over the Black Mountain in the Brecon Beacons with water bottle and no food – cue exhaustion and double vision
Monday Bike (distinct lack of) style: blast from the past

What an epic back drop for a photo! I quite like those early-nineties Marins, and probably a bit lighter than one might imagine (about 27 lb?), despite having a double butted cromoly frame.
The bear valley SE my pal had was 27.5 my palisades trail was definitely over 30
