Has a canti cable stop, that makes it vintage, right?
This BMX saddle is so very unsittable
But bike is a blast to ride!

Just remember... when you ride through puddles it isn't always water.



On a practical note, good fenders do a lot to preserve your bicycle as they keep the crud and water off and out of places it should not be.

OMG lookit all the PDG! I'm in love with the first one and the last one.

I think this 1985 Fuji Blvd. XC might be a keeper for me, she rides really nicely! Catalog says 31 lbs., I wonder what it weighs in this config.

Bought 30 years ago in a supermarket named "Euromarché"....his name....MTB ! I don't know the builder, but all is made in Taiwan with CRMO chromed frame, and 18 speeds.

A very strong bike, but too heavy (16 kgs) for climbing !

1992 GT Outpost

This is my first mountain bike purchased at a bike shop. I've since turned it into my country bike.
