1992 Fisher Hoo Koo e Koo. Just got it

[WestyToo]

Hello -

For a whopping $50, I got the above off of Craigslsit. It looks all original (Suntour XC-1, Dia-Compe brakes, no front shock).

The guy at the bike shop said the tubing (Japanese Chro-Moly) was "sweet." I'll post pics after I get it back.

Anybody have one or had any experience with these? I intend to ride it out to the local trails, maybe some slightly more challenging spots.

Thoughyts welcome.

Matt

At the moment, it is in the shop (I have no tools and have not worked on a bike since I was 12). I know it had a broken spoke in back, and a cog is missing one tooth and another one is bent. Elvis, the bike mechanic (his real name), said it is a very sweet ride, and aside from wheels and tires, looks original.

As soon as I get it back, I will post.

Can you tell me anything about its ride characteristics? I took it for a quick spin around the block when I got it, but the rear portion of the drivetrain had a clump of mud/grass dried on to it, the chain was rusty, and the toires were almost flat.
