Worth a shot…
Neko’s 1989 Miyata Ridge Runner Team. Bought for my dad, 90% original. Fully restored as a rider. Still on the hunt for the correct two chainrings.

1989 Miyata Ridge Runner Team

Hi guys! New member here. As some may already know, I’m an 18 year old from the MTB Mecca (Norcal) who has a few years of vintage MTB experience under his belt. This is my first project I deem worthy of Retrobike — a mostly original 1989 Ridge Runner Team. This was an amazing find for $75...

1995 Gary Fisher Marlin Restomod

Came to me practically unridden, still with nubs on the original Tioga Psycho tires. Switched out the stem and bars, switched to 1x7 (original cassette plus Microshift Advent 1x9 derailleur and shifter). Kept wheels, BB, frame, seatpost. The rest is parts bin or Amazon's finest Chinesium, apart...

It's a 1995 Gary Fisher Marlin. It was practically unridden when I got it. I meant it to be a cruiser/grocery getter but once I put the parts on (mostly parts bin, couple of take-offs, new tires) and took it out for a ride I realized it went like the wind. Because of the short chainstays and the (now) short stem it feels incredibly playful and jumpy. Really looking forward to taking it out onto some flowy singletrack.
