What was your favourite bike from the Malverns Classic Show and Shine? Is there a retro bike you’ve always wanted? If money was no object what would you be trying to source?

I'm cheap; Moots YBB, and Turner Stinger are the only two I've never managed to find used for a price I'd bite for. If I was to drop big green on a bike now, it would be for something unobtainable, like a custom fat tire ebike in Reynolds 953 with belt drive, a Rohloff rear, and carbon bits everywhere else. That being said, I can still spend half a day staring at old C-dale fat tube hardtails....😊

The full Ti Xizang was my halo bike when I was a kid. I would love to get one with modern geo and 29” wheels. The OG Ti Hei Hei was also up there. Oh…. And a Richey Team Edition with the softride stem that Frischy rode. So many to choose from but those are my all time favorites

A Bontrager Race Lite like I used to own in the 90's. Sold it cheap when I was desperate for cash in '99. One of my dumber moves in life, for it was an absolute barnstormer of a cross country bike.

My first serious ride was a Giant CFM3 1992 and I changed the fork to the original Girvin with the yellow elastomers Would love to see one again!!! Love to own it again

What Doddy brought to GMBN was his great credibility in bike knowledge. His skills as a journalist also proved to be a great strength as he was able to put across any detail of mountain bike technology without it being overly complicated or patronising.
