With a focus on speed and style, they transformed the humble Repack bomber into a modern, high-performance machine. This book tells the story of how their innovative spirit and determination changed the face of the sport forever. From its humble beginnings on the steep dirt trails of Mount Tamalpais, the sport of mountain biking evolved rapidly, driven by the need for speed and the desire for adventure. With the help of a few key individuals, the Repack bomber was transformed into a refined and elegant machine that quickly gained popularity around the world. This book chronicles the entire journey, from the early days of experimentation to the modern mountain bike we know today. With its unique blend of history, innovation, and passion, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the origins of mountain biking.
