Hey all! I was living in Hawaii in the late '80s and got one of the first Wickeds shipped to there, based on an article in Mountain Bike Action. I ended up in Oregon, needed cash and sold it. Years later, I did some work for a guy I knew through the local bike shop and we bartered for a Yo frameset. It sat in a friend's basement until last week, and now it sits on my kitchen floor. Unfortunately, the guy I got it from is deceased, and I'm not sure what I have, but it looks like a medium from about 1992 based on MOMBAT.
So, thanks to the guys who came up with this site, and 'Ill be looking around.

Welcome Otter!

Same as you, I bought my Wicked on the basis of an MBA article. I even got it in the same (custom) blue/silver fade color scheme. I didn't have the scratch for the Campy Euclid, though.

Have fun!
