My twin brothers first mtb, back at the end of the 80's. His one looked like yours for less than a day!
Thanks for posting, a nice bit of nostalgia for me.
Ha ha, I remeber going for the first ride on the original bike and getting a telling off when I got home for getting it dirty. Its amazing, I used to ride it, with no care, attention or lubrication and the only thing I ever remember happening was the chain breaking (i still have the scars), yet the extortionatly expensive MTB I ride now is treated like an Autistic self harmer that has to be cleaned lubed and tucked away hoping it doesnt self destruct on the next ride. It also weighs about twice what a modern bike does, i cant believe we used to ride 10 miles to Cannock Chase, spend all day riding round it, then ride home, oh to be 14 again. . . .
