This is where I post vintage materials from the Mountain Bike Legacy Project, which primarily covers the years from 1970 to 1990.
There is no order here other that what I found in the files recently. I tried to collect every printed word about mountain biking before 1990, when it became impossible to keep up. Now I am happy to share it with anyone who finds the site.

1983 Bicycling Magazine Workshop
This is a collection of what east coast non-mountain bikers discovered about mountain bikes. In 1983 they are careful not to call them “mountain bikes” for fear of a trademark issue with the company Gary Fisher and I had started, “MountainBikes.”
