I am now the proud owner of the 1987 Cimarron that wrk101 showed upthread, the 17" one.

The bike is very cool; I am still settling into the mtn bike sizing and wish I had an 18" to compare this one to. I don't have the seatpost extended a whole lot though, so likely this is just right, and I do ride a 52cm road bike. Mrs Al says it feels great to her, and her legs are at least as long as mine. She says the slightly sloping top tube is just as easy as a step through frame.

I don't see doing a whole lot to this bike other than cleaning it up and finding the right tires.

I will post pics when this one is really shiny.

Thanks Bill!
