Bad case of N+1 lately:
Noticed old mt. bike prices were low, so I got a 95 Schwinn Moab Anniversary Edition, added tires, fenders, saddle, lights & scraps of bar tape. Now it's my favorite errand bike.

Same day I found the Moab, I called on this 1991 Gary Fisher Montare and arranged to pick up a few days later. Cheap, with unusual frame geometry! On gravel and local trails, it climbs fast and turns on a dime. I go slow on descents tho, as it's twitchy at speed. I added a N.O.S. front shifter, old fenders, old saddle and tail light.

So I wanted 1 but got 2. then, just recently, I found a Fisher HK-II. Components have mid to late 1988 date codes so I think it's an 89 model. Color is close to Gios Blue. Seller added the fenders, new saddle is by me. Came with a flat Mt. bike bar. I was converting to moustache bars, but some heavy lifting strained my back muscles, so went with VO porteur bars. That's all for now. Don
