The Tracker is a Forgotten Part of MTB History(Photos / Stooge Cycles)It seems that in the UK, there is a forgotten part of MTB history. Its said to predate the American Klunker by a few decades. Back in the 1960s and 70s, riders modified standard bikes with features like chunky tires and distinctive cowhorn handlebars. These few mods helped tackle dirt trails before dedicated mountain bikes existed.(Photos / Stooge Cycles)(Photos / Stooge Cycles)I searched the interwebs for some info and found what I was looking for on British bike company, Stooge Cycles website, it read: Try and find any mention of Trackers now and youll draw a complete blank, all that history pretty much wiped out, didnt even make the switch to Google it had become that irrelevant by the time the internet happened. And thats a real damn shame! These bikes shaped lives, my dads generation in particular. They ruled from the dawn of post war Britain all the way through. America had the Cruisers and us Brits had the Dirt Trackers, which predated the American klunkers by a good 3 decades. Think about that for a moment!Nukeproof TrackerThe bikes emphasize the fundamental appeal of mountain biking getting out on the trails and having fun, whether youre exploring local paths or building skills on more technical terrain.The tracker frames are built from6061-T6 aluminium, featuretapered head tubes, and 2.4 tire clearance.
