Hello everyone,

When I saw this one pop up in the local internet classifieds, it was on like anti-Monopoly: go directly to La Chaux-de-Fonds, do not pass this bike up, and do collect $200 on the way.


Here is a reference for how little the original paint had faded over almost 30 years.


It was more than a little rainy when I rode it from its former home to the train station.


Did I mention that I rode it without a seat and post? As a result, I did not need all of the aforementioned $200.


In any case, those looking for one of the earliest MTBs with neon/day-glo/fluoro paint, executed in a loooooong gradient fade, seek not further. If it was much brighter, it would need batteries.


Finding this one in the catalog meant that the other Jura which I had been restoring could take on a different paint direction. Hope to share more of that with you next year.

Cheers,
The Kid
