He was my hero growing up. I ended up DESTROYING my left foot mountain biking as a kid. Lost function all together. I will someday scream down a mountain again. So much love for downhill shredding!! I've never felt more alive and miss it so bad I could cry. Be safe people and go see the beauty of this planet.
I've got an eMTB. I did lots of pushing as a kid. You had one good bike, usually whatever your friends had. Mine had road bikes. And a too small bike from early years.
we were building bike,s in north wales in 70s with fat knobbly tyres single small crank with a 7 speed derailleur on 26" wheels I used motorbike handlebars but you could buy a set of cow horn's but they would crack and snap and your chest would hit the centre stock, AND I know they custom bikes in the sixty too that look like MTB. Do a search on cow horns handlebar there are plenty of pictures onthe net
