Chongo Loco Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Those are some monstrous brake levers! Repack run time! Put on some jeans, hiking boots, and a flannel shirt, roll a fatty, and point it downhill! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheX Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Some days I miss rolling fatties. I don't drink, gamble, cheat, murder or maim. I do enjoy gummies in Denver though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack_turtle Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Spent less than $50 on this 1995 (?) GT Backwoods. Everything is functioning now that I flushed the right shifter, replaced the left one, retaped the rims, sealed the tubes, etc. Thinking about using it as a beater bike, but not sure I'll actually ride it much. A brief ride up the street and back confirmed that '90s bikes could be quite awful. I have half a mind to try riding trails on it just for the experience of knowing what a twitchy old rigid mtb was like, but afraid I'll break something on it and not want to spend any more to fix it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 A few years ago I bought and I tried riding a ~94 Specialized (rockhopper?). It was a survivor. Original everything. Even the grease on the chain looked stock. It just hung in someone's garage for 20 years. It was awful on the trails. Sold it to a co-worker who wanted it to get into cycling and for neighborhood riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I actually raced the Lajitas Desert Classic in like 95 on a GT Zascar with a purple Manitou fork. It was the yr they raced the course in reverse and we had to go down the big climb. That was the stiffest bike ever made and Im pretty sure that's why I have lower back pain.

mack_turtle Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 anyone else riding a klunker on occasion? Hardtail Party just released his video of a klunker group ride and it has be interested. I'll probably regret all this, but a highly modified old bike with a coaster brake could be a fun challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
