Bruiser Overview

Bruisers were first made in 1980 1) by Glenn Odell along with Ira Hughes and John McGill. Glenn's main interest was in promoting mountain bike races. He ran the Central Coast Clunker Classic from 1980 → 1983 and then was NORBA president from 1983 → 1986. Glenn stopped making Bruisers by the time NORBA took all of his attention. 2)
