I have a weakness for these old lugged MTBs, especially if they have a lugged fork crown and bolt on wheels. I chased this one down today and was pleasantly surprised after seeing the condition in person. Suntour hubs and Mountech derailleurs. Paint is in remarkable condition as well. Attempted to get a few pics before the sun went down.

That's a beautiful bike. Paint look great, haven't seen a mountech RD with those graphics before. Would make a great round town bike.

Cool bike. Those old long wheel base MTBs were fabulous. It's too bad everything had to go to basically a racing bike geomentry

That's a really nice one! Terrenaut was a house brand for the Touring Cyclist bike shop in Bridgeton MO. I had one of these several years ago, built from Japanese cro-mo tubing. They are great bikes, very much worthy of keeping on the road.

Tarranaut... What a wonderfully evocative name! You can never have too many lugged long wheelbase mountain bikes. Ever.
