In a culture of 'Don't build it, buy it', it's satisfying to come across machines that truly stand out. Chris Barber's Hillclimb special is one of them. I love it, I love the girder front, I love the simple lines, and I love the lightweight good honest fun appeal of it.
Whilst having a looky for pics of Yamaha TT500s I stumbled upon this great site with old road/dirt tests of MXers. Some lovely stuff on there, worth spending an hour having a good read.
