That is HENCH! I've never seen one of these before. It's interesting to look at the progression stages MTB went through. Is it particularly heavy?

I remember when I first saw one of these in the front of MBUK. It had massive disk brakes and inverted suspension forks. At the time every other bike looked completely conventional! This was my absolute dream bike at the time. Nice!

sweet old school rig mate its older than me lol
its a nice bike and all those guys rating it 1 are d**** iv rated them all down so hopefuly your score should go back up
one question though, whats the frame made out of? it looks like steel in the photo lol
ashley_photog replied... on 17 September 2009
I think it was 6061 t6 Alloy, though it could easily have been a 7000 series alloy too.

A fine example of possibly the first true Full suspension mountain bikes, and one of the earlist versions too. would have been a 10 if it had Prostop Brakes, and the suspenders forks.
nojzilla replied... on 9 January 2009
oh yeeaah the forks

DoctorBobrick said on 6 December 2008
drivetrain and gearing looks well specced, if you cant mount disks on that frame though Id say a new frame would be something to look out for though
diamondratuk replied... on 6 December 2008
these frames have been disc compatible from day one back in 91. And they had some of the biggest disc's out, the Pro-Stop's. I've been running Magura Gustav's since the pic was taken on a set of Chris king wheels.

a little slice of classic San Andreas, good enough for smithy, good enough for me!
I hope it still works well and isnt rusting away?
ashley_photog replied... on 12 May 2009
looking at the age and the fact no one esle had one of these in the UK back then, could this be Paul Smith original bike????
ashley_photog replied... on 12 January 2009
I'm not the only one remebering Paul Smith being the sole UK owner of one of these through the ealry 90's then. ;-)

This is not a freeride bike.
ashley_photog replied... on 3 January 2009
love=velo you really need to learn a bit about the history of mountain biking, that bike must be nearly 17years old, 'Freeride' hadn't even been trademarked by Cannondale back then. and to be honest we'd all been 'Freeriding' for years before the term was coined! this WAS he first freeride bike!
diamondratuk replied... on 12 August 2007
Where did I say it's a freeride bike. And Unlike love=velo I do have the skillset to freeride on this. It's not what you got, it's how you use it. And if you new your shit it does have disk tabs, I just havent fitted them yet.
