Here it is. It's a 1x...7. Currently set up as a street Bike. I have all the take off parts to turn it more mountain bike like but reportedly not so good for trail riding especially compared to modern.
My favorite is the street tires with the Hot Wheels red stripe. Also like the '88 purple rain with a purple hue this one has a reddish type of tint. Difficult to see.
I don't know much about trail riding but I just want to have fun. Bonus, it's a Diamond Back.
Not much to be done with this as the PO did s great job. Maybe change saddle and add a vintage avenir bottle cage.I actually plan to leave it a 1x and add the FD to help keep the chain on.
