My mountain bike (1988 Schwinn Project KOM-10) is an absolute delight. Heavy-ish at 27 lbs., but not a boat anchor. No-suspension steel-framed mountain bikes of that era are extremely versatile, reliable, and easy to work on. Although mine was a designed for a 6-speed freewheel, I did not have to spread the frame for my current 8-speed cassette rear wheel.
