The mountain bikes from that era are awesome, I have 3.
Pearl Silver?? Still nice-looking. Definitely, go with the comfy saddle. Bubblegum pink, huh? It'll certainly be -- bright.
I now have two from that era; one a greasy mess, and the other a frame and fork. The Rincon is going to be my learning bike; I want to tear it apart, clean it up, and rebuild it, including having the frame & fork powder coated olive green. The Rockhopper is going to be built up as a road/tourer. My first steel-framed bikes! Now, if it'll just stop raining for a minute...
