last week i was kindly given a very sorry for itself fire mountain. thanks to you guys it has been dated as a 1997. here is a really poor picture the day i got it...
there was a picture here but for some reason it has turned into quite a scary picture of a bride???
it was absolutely covered in mud and grime. after a couple of washes and a change of wheels and tyres i present you with...
given my current financial state and the effort involved in creating something truly stunning this is going to be a hack bike and a bit of a long term project. i plan to get it up and running on a very small budget for tomorrows sherwood pines ride (£8 so far) and just enjoy it. i may repaint it and i think the chainrings have set a bit of a theme as i quite like the clash of the red and blue. the saddle hasnt been chosen because of its flash of red, its because it was the best one i had laying around!
sadly i have had to remove the chainset as the middle ring is kippered and i dont have a spare so it is currently running a 1999 lx chainset to keep it going.
the only really noteworthy bits on the bike are the wheels and tyres, grey/white psycho tyres( on back to front, how mbuk told us to roll back in the day) gold tech rear hub and pace carbon front with non matching mavic rims.
seems to ride ok but we'll see after tomorrow!
the plan will include a paintjob at some point, a change of forks and not a lot else really. watch this space...
