Hey all! Long story short, my wife had been begging to get back into biking again for her birthday, well its coming up at the end of the month and I had been looking for bikes and really not feeling anything new at all. When we moved years ago and we had to leave our bikes, we gave them away to some young kids, and I had been on the market but most of what I had been seeing last few months really had not caught my eye. Until this week when I had some of the older school vibes come back to me, not quite as old of frames as i once had, but I digress. Anyway as luck happens yesterday for $5 I snagged this 2004 Gary Fisher 19", Silver Series- Advance with stem and bars, saddle, crank and mismatched pedals, some rear pads as well as it had some sram combo brake/shifters on it that appeared opperational & even the o.e.m. RST fork 
. at least for now it is.
Then this evening, on my way home I took a little 30 min detour and picked up a really nice condition 2002 Kona NuNu Gold (6061), dont know if theres a more specific model for this version Nunu, which I hadnt ever seen this variation before in the states. I thought it might be a 1999 Pahoehoe (I hoped).
Enjoy the view only six more miles left to drive home!
Didnt even realize how much missed all this!! As soon as I got back yesterday with the Gary Fisher I spent all day in the backyard getting lost cleaning and dreaming up ways to bring this forgotten dream back to life. It Brought back a feeling; Felt like a kid again riding bikes all the time for 100s of miles finding a bike frame and or making a bike part work on yours; tinkering, maintaining, either for fun or necessity; there was freedom in it, and it gave it back!
