Reposter
Dirt Disciple
I signed up here a while ago to share my road bike project (still in the 'parts gathering' stage, by the way :roll
, and have been glued to the MTB section lately. So many amazing bikes in equally amazing condition.
Anyway, here's my own retro MTB. A 1998 (?) 'Fisher Ziggurat, bought on ebay, then fixed up into good, usable condition. The frame is scratched, dented and beaten, and it could use a new headset. Also considering a fork upgrade in the near future. Otherwise, though, it's a great 'everyday', old-school XC rig.
