And another one.......
This was the first proper MTB i ever had. I bought it with my earnings from my first bike shop job, with a little help from my boss and my dad
I raced and rode that bike half to death over the next 3 years. I had it through the end of school and through college, but it was sold before uni, which i've regretted ever since.
Theres been 20+ bikes since, but i've been on the lookout for the exact same fire mountain i had when i was 16. I finally dropped lucky on ebay when i found an 18" 2 miles down the road. I was always gonna buy it, just depended on how much strife i got in....
So heres the first pic. Pretty much non of the original kit remains, but the frame and forks are good. This will probably be built using parts i already have and used as a mud guarded commuter for the time being. My Dekerf has depleted my energies and funds for now but the future may hold a full resto.
Next step is a strip down to check everything out. I'll then dive into the parts box....
So a hastily taken fuzzy old pic.
