In the Dirt Shed Show this week we're wondering if modern mountain bikes can even come close to retro bikes in terms of superstar status!? In 20 years' time, will we walk into a bike shop and marvel at the 2022 'retro' mountain bike hung on the wall, or will it still be all about the bikes from the start of the MTB movement?
