Please allow me to bump this thread...
My first bike was a 1990 Muirwoods, but it was not bright yellow, it was on a lovely bone white color with the paint drops in pink, purple and blue.
I am desperate looking for a picture of this bike...
Anyone can help?
Thanks!

A little update on my Muirwoods can't hurt.
Found some new Bontrager XR2 EXP 2.1 tyres at the fleamarket for the pricey sum of 9€.
These tyres are tubeless ready. This means you can't put them on the rims nice and easy. Some serious swearing was involved during that work. :twisted:
But now the peace of mind has returned and this bike is rolling on some new rubber with 30 psi instead of 58 like before. Now it looks like a real mountain bike again. Yay! Mission complete.

@marc two tone: Thanks for your nice words mate. Actually i bought this frame from Philleeds. He's from Watlington. So one or two of this thingies must must have been available in the UK at some point, too.
I know it's a shame to look at a mountain bike with some road tyres fitted.
And i'm happy that these dark times lie behind my unworthy soul.
But the real reason for the new tyres was this:
Took the Muirwoods for a quick spin this morning to see how the Bontrager XR feel. They got a nice sound on tarmac and all the joints in my body feel a lot better at the lower tyre pressure.
Some slighty better phone pics than before for your viewing pleasure:

I'm gonna pick up one of these tomorrow. I'm really excited to see how much the neon coating has suffered. Not too much, I hope.
