Sending all our love to the McRoy family today. 24 years since the MTB world lost one of the best and its heartwarming to see so much love for Jason McRoy today from all his fans.
Later on I'll open a beer and watch this

I raced with him a couple of times.... What a sportsman..... Much respect for him
RIP Bro.. keep riding in Heaven 👍😉♥️🖤🍾24🙏🚲....
This lad over came a lot and was a trail blazer - I always nod him on the snake 👍
I'm about a five min pedal from sandsend, off to visit there in a few, with my copy of his bike, sporting one of your international legends tee's, with MCROY, written down the middle 😎😎
a true Legend never forget 🐬
Any day that involves new stickers is always a good day but these are extra special. Massive thanks to @retromtbofficial for hooking me up with these classic @rockshox & @srammtb stickers. 👌 #retromtb #classicmtb #rockshox #rockshoxjudy #rockshoxjudysl #bikeninja #mtb #sram
You’re most welcome. And they look better on this post than they did before I sent them 🤣 ❤️ #RetroMTBlove #RockShoxlove
If you needed a wake up call that #crossiscoming then our Belgium Big Bobble Hat on bright orange will certainly do the trick 😳 we have started to phase out orange a bit but got this one in for a special. #crossisboss #cx #bikeninja #belgiumcycling #belgiumcx #cycling
BTFU... 🙂
Bit of late night catchup on a few tees ready for going out tomorrow. Proudly powered by lots of coffee..... #bikeninja #coffeedoping #cyclingcoffee #doping #cycling
Another icon for me in my early and most influential MTB years were the early Marin’s. The dark paint highlighted with Fluro yellow, pink or green has always been a winner for me and still defines what I consider to be “classic Marin”. As much as I love the retro it’s great to see how these brands have developed and changed with the times. Top work @marinbikes_uk and @marinbikes 👍 #marinbikes #marinbikesuk #marinmtb #retromarin #retromtb #classicmtb #bikeninja not my photo or bike and if anyone knows who’s, please let me know so I can credit.
A mate still has original bear valley ...
My favourite marin was the rocky ridge, alloy and loads of purple anodized goodies. Was a great race bike too 😂
Zolatone paint was the matte grey paint developed by Marin for this era of bikes. I loved how each model had different colour stem/fork/decals with same colour paint frame. Top of the line getting polished metal!
My 1990 palisade. My parents bought it for me for my 13th birthday. Still got her all these years later and sporting a few period upgrades.
I had an Eldridge Grade - loved it to bits. Red anodised nipples, cages and onza bar ends ❤️
With the distinctive front brake cable wheel, still got an original spec Bobcat Trail from that era (the green one).
Good but not a Dyna Tech ...
One for @geoff_waugh I found it. I’ll make contact with @dean_titanium to see if it’s something they would be happy working with me on. 👍
Well, who knew that DEAN we’re still going? (Not me!) 🤦🏻♂️ One of the best logos in business. Simple, eloquent, primary colours and so many ways to make it link to other products. Hope you get success with them Bike Ninja!
I'd have one in a heartbeat, take my money!!!!
We have been continuing our look of some classic forks recently. None of these are currently available and just ideas but we would love your thoughts if you would like to see a full range? #bikeninja #rockshox #mag21ti #retromtb #classicmtb
It absolutely NEEDS the RockShox logo, but I know that you know this. I hope to powers that be at SRAM MTB give the thumbs up! More impressive work from you yet again! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Maaaaaan.... I clicked on this to buy... and then I read ‘it’s just an idea’ you F*cking teasing b*stard sh*t dogs... I was gunna buy at least 4...
FSX?
Been playing about with loads of ideas recently based around classic retro suspension forks. Fingers crossed I get the chance to release them 🤞 That aside who doesn’t like a Pace based design! Always been a favourite plus extra special this week with the arrival of the new @pacecycles twins 😍 congrats to Sophie and the rest of the family 👍 #bikeninja #pacecycles #hiptobesquare #retromtb #classicmtb #pacerc35 #mtbsuspension
Now if you Sophie and jo Burt could agree ,a sitonmypaceandtellmethatyouloveme t-shirt would be ace ( re issue)

Big shout out to @doddstar1979 and @gmbntech who have just released a new video on Doddy’s stunning bike cave. Extra points if you can spot a few Bike Ninja items scattered about 😉 #bikeninja #gmbntech #retromtb #classicmtb #cyclingmugs #tiogadiskdrive
He's a techy star... he once showed me how to get a 26" tyre on a 29" rim... ⚒🔧🗜🔪🍴
Fresh off the press and looking sharp 👌 #bikeninja #retromtb #goldeneramtb #classickona
