Sterling discovery sport mtb 1990’s
Hello friends,
I have found a sterling discovery sport in good condition. The color is very unique because when the suns hits it reflects a purple color. It has shimano exige country components with araya rims. I payed $100 but I think I payed too much. Needs new cables and paint is scratched.

I would say late 80s not 90's but a pretty good deal for a $100 if the Araya dimpled rims & hubs are good. it should be good buy. While not high end the exchage components are pretty good. and it has a decent MTB hard frame which you can't really go wrong on if your buying it as a rider builder.

Around the time this bike was built a lot of MTBs even mid to even higher had nutted rear and about have the exage stuff was nutted,So if the wheels seem to match the nutted is likely original
