Ever buy a bike for parts and...

[r0gue]

When it shows up... you just can't bring yourself to do it? Just happened to me again. A 1988 Fisher CR-7.

The chips in the paint led me to believe it was a little rough. However almost all the chips it has you are looking at in this pic. The rest of the bike is so nice. All original with Fisher Fat Trax tires and Suntour components.

Quite a find for the money.

Touch-up paint.
A shorter stem (for me, anyway).
Go.

Lovely bike - as you say it's far too nice to break for parts. Looks like the original saddle too. Enjoy

Even the tires look original. I'm guessing parts are all XT?
I say either keep it together or sell it to me! (I've been looking for one in my size).

Loving the whippet-skinny forks. Yum.

Happens to me all the time!! Two CR-7's is getting greedy though!

Bought a bike for £10 last week because it had a nice 'Flite' saddle and Deore DX front mech.

Haggled them down to £10 from £15, took the saddle and front mech off, then threw the rest away.

The saddle is now on my singlespeed and I'll sell the front mech to get my £10 back.

The Fat TRax tires look like they are from the Roman era. So cracked. Yours look like they just came off the press on your Mt Tam! Where's you find those?
