Paceline member Repack Rider has a new book out

[fiamme red]

It's called "Fat Tire Flyer: Repack and the Birth of Mountain Biking."

BRAIN: There’s been a lot written about the early days. Why do we need another history?

Kelly: There are so many accounts by people who weren’t there, who had to interview 40 to 50 people to get a version of the story. This is first person. This will probably be the only first-person account of those events because I’m one of only four people who could have written this. This is going to stand as the definitive history.

Thanks, just pre-ordered a copy on Amazon.

Very cool.

Here's a nice 40 year anniversary video of Tom Ritchey on Vimeo:

Love my fillet brazed Ritchey Timbercomp, and really wish I'd bought a road frame back in the day.

Here's a photo from the signing event. Unlikely I could ever round up this crew again, so those 160 or so first editions with all four signatures will be collectible.
