Steve Peat- Worlds Number 1 Downhiller in the 1993 7UP BMBF DH Final, Eastridge Forest Shrewsbury

7 Up BMBF Downhill Final, won by Andrew Titley from Shrewsbury (home course).

This is a fantastic era for the growth of UK Mountain Biking.

In Steve Peats first year as a Sports XC Rider (winning all events) he started downhilling with Chris Horsefield. Both had rigid bikes, 1.5" specialized hard pack rear tyres & ritchey megabite front 2.1" tyres.

Both fantastic riders. Steve is now the best ever DH rider in his time winning World Cup events.

Wow - nostalgia! I'm glad the lycra look has disappeared from downhill!. Wonder where all those old bikes are now? A modern downhill rig is a far cry from those things. Also, look how high Peaty's seat post was!
