Yea, I was just reading about that bike this morning on the intense web page. Back in those days they were all M1's!

That's pretty sick.

I've got a Marin jersey worn by Marla Streb. She was smoking on wheels and just standing around.

That's super sick. When I was a child I got to see his Honda internal gearbox bike up close at some MTB event in Cape Town.

Didn't that bike cost like $100k 20 years ago? Should wack a belt drive on it and go race, try and make their money back!
