i think bulldogs were 87

the oddysey calipers make a good alternative to mx1000's

or fs880s

Sorry to hijack this thread, do you know what year the Odyssey Pitbull brakes came out?

What brake caliper would have been used on a bike circa 1990? The frame has a brake bridge so definitely takes a caliper brake!

Cheers

Marty

pitbulls are good for 1990

i have a 1990 skateboard mag (i forget the name) and it has simon tabron in it testing the "new" bully bashguard
that has a pitbull fitted, and they dont talk about it like its a new thing. got a feeling they were about in the late 80's, maybe as early as 87
