From the archives: My first Downhill rig

I started mountainbiking and riding trails on an old cross country bike, soon thrashing it down the trails as fast and hard as I could manage. After a while, this wasn't good enough anymore and I knew I had to get a proper DH bike. I started stalking the classifieds and managed to find this gem on Gumtree:

This Morewood Prime 8, became my first DH rig...  



Looking at this bike now, I seriously don't know what I was thinking, but back then it managed to keep me happy!
