Well if my math is correct we have until into the second week of November before the 100 days of the challenge are up, My work contract ended at the close of September so that leaves me with some time on my hands in the short run and look what wondered across my path for $50 yesterday. A 1986, near as I can tell, Shogun prairie breaker I. I have been looking for a old Rockhopper but when I saw the biplane fork, bullmoose bars and thumbies in a bike my size I couldn't pass it up. The tires are mismatched and differing widths 2.125 in back and 1.5 up front but after lots of looking I did find some Schwable Jet city tires that would keep me (barely) under budget so if I can't stand the tires I can swap them out. This will be clunker # 2 in a year with the theme of bike brands I have never had in my stable before - Univega and Shogun.
