I hung onto this catalog cause it seemed cool at the time. Summer 1997, I had just finished my B.S. in General Engineering, didn't have any job lined up yet, was half living in a friend's basement 1 bed apartment who was away for the summer on an internship, he'd already leased the place in May for his upcoming year starting grad school so I didn't have to spend as much time in my own $260/mo efficiency 1 room apartment. Big arms on the cover guy, Rockshox Judy SL, Ringle parts, 20 years later I have my own 1996 Rockshox Judy XC to play around with from a bike I rescued from the trash (turns out 1996 Judy forks actually aren't that good).
Back then I thought this guy's hair was cool |
Another one I held onto because the cover seemed creative. Summer before high school senior year. 8-speed Dura Ace/Campy Record, probably Bullseye pulleys and Phil Wood hubs on there too.
