I still have a small collection of catalogs as well! Its funny looking through them and realizing how MX gear prices havent changed too much in the last 25+ years (unless you look at premium stuff).

These are great. If you have time it would be great to get them all scanned and uploaded like Tony Blaizer does.

Or if you’re interested in selling Id like to get them to scan them myself.

They are fun to look through - a lot of great photos in there. Scanning is on the long term project list but I may just sell them before I get to that point.

I sold all my catalogs from the 70s to the 90s on ebay and made a absolute killing on them. I have a CD with all of them scanned on it from the old cross up inc to FMF and fox, JT etc catalogs on them to look at all the old forgotten stuff.

Have you thought about uploading them? You did the hard part already.

I've got a couple other projects in process right now so it will be awhile - it is on the list of things to do, just not at the top of the list.

I have a few of those! Nothing was sweeter than opening the mailbox and getting a new catalog!

My dad had every almost Schwinn bike catalog
After he passed (at 96) I eventually sold them .
I had people contacting me outside of ebay trying to cut throat the next guy Lol

Nice collection you have there !

Do you have any LOP, CH or Simons catalogues 80-85?
