Mark white racing

[mattfx81]

Who was this guy, what was his team and what did he ride? I've seen plenty of pics of him in old magazines and annuals but never any details.

Mark was a top bloke who rode for some of the big teams SKYWAY and DIAMOND BACK but felt the need to build something better much the same as TIM did but  no way as large a deal as MRD i think that Birmingham wheels made MARKS FRAME and FORKS and they would be very sought after as not many would have been made





Sorry thats all i can tell you other than he rode in a tough class and was one of the first UK SUPERCLASS / PRO riders and was always a main maker and one top bloke !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Nice one WOODY

Cheers Woody, I think I have a picture of Mark Racing ona brum wheels frame at Kelloggs. Ive seen another video of him racing at the screen sports events and he has a Mike miranda tash thing going down.  Has anybody seen one of these mark white frames ever?

Yep Mark was a rad guy 

Around 10 or 11 years ago he was racing again in and around the Midlands region, I remeber talking to him at Chesterfield. He was racing the cruiser class on a mountain bike.

i remember him having a little bike shop bitd in brigg just up the road from the falcon factory.

Got a pair of Mark White's old bars off Alan Woods ( Redline Proline V bars ) . You can just see the W of the kinda stepped/offset MW logo decal on the bars in the foreground

I wonder if Mark still has his old bikes, would be interesting if he has. So people put out the feelers if you can.

More importantly I wonder if he still sports a tash?

He was the UK's answer to mike miranda.
