-Most of initial Repack riders built their own bikes.  They had to, as there was nothing available which could survive the final five minutes.  Charlie Kelly, Repack's organizer, ordered the first purpose built mountain bike in 1976 from [[https://mtbtimeline.com/wiki/mitchell/start|Craig Mitchell]].  Joe Breeze, a builder of road frames, and who has won Repack downhills than anyone else, demonstrated his own [[https://mtbtimeline.com/wiki/breezer/start#jbx1|JBX1]] in September, 1977.  And everyone had to have one.
