Hi Retrobikers
This is my first retro/old school mountain bike project - I've been building old school BMX bikes for a while but I've been hankering for something old school mountain bike - I figure it may make me ride more... Anyway a chance ebay visit landed this:
It's virtually complete excepting the rear tyre - remarkable for a 23 year old steed!
I was so stoked that on the way home from picking it up I whipped it out of the PT and hit some roadside forest trails...what a hoot.
No suspension, narrow flat bars, canti brakes and perfectly shifting Shimano DX gubbins. Amazing.
Feels like old times on my '95 Borego.
