    something I saw a link to on the ERC forum. 8 minutes and 49 seconds of vintage cyclocross action in glorious kodachrome. "Helmets" and freewheels strictly optional

    Yeah I watched that.

    You mean cyclocross races these days don't involve throwing bikes in rivers?

    Commentary is entertaining too, shame you can hear the projector running!!

    Was really surprised to see people riding fixed - but then deraileurs hadn't had the technological advances that have resulted from Mountain Biking.

    Incidentally anyone remember U brakes? Really powerful brakes which worked well in sunny California, but not so well in UK mud.

    That's hilarious. "He runs backwards down the road. He's been run over twice"
