My unicorn arrived last weekend. I bought this bike from Davetrials via this site. Dave posted this bike to me. I was so exited that I didn't take any pictures when I got it...

I give it a little clean-up. Put a Umma Gumma ProLong saddle on it, some new grips and new cables. Adjust the rear shock a little bit and then... test ride!

What a blast :D

To be honest... I've donwsized my collection with five bikes....

One according to SWMBO's rule... one new bike in... another bike out...! And I found out that I've some favourite bikes that I use for my rides over and over again... so a couple of bikes stood there almost unused...

Well, nice to be here. I have a 1994 Stumpjumper fsr i bought new,then in 2003 it was stolen :( .....3 days ago the police called me and they found it :shock: > So I picked it up and other than missing rear rubber,seat and post,pedals and the alps 4 shock being empty it was in pretty good shape. My baby is home and getting restored. The only issue is the decals. Cant find factory replacements. Anyhow,good to be here and happy trails.
