Retro Newbie
This is nothing special, but I love this bike. I have 3 other new bikes, and this one sees 3x the mileage that they all do together. My family bought this as a gift for my father's 50th birthday and I've noticed it did nothing more than sit in his garage for the last 10 years. It still had the original gray tires, but the fork had to be replaced somewhere along the line. I asked him if I could take it off his hands two summers back and he was happy to let me have https://showbox.tools/ https://speedtest.vet/ it. I tore it down and just about everything short of the frame and wheels was replaced with parts bin stuff from the local BS with the odd amazon purchase or two thrown in. It pretty much acts as my cruiser for around town, but it rides like a dream and still gets the occasional compliment which always makes my day. The forks are absolutely blown out so I'm hoping to find a nice period correct replacement or maybe a rigid fork as the bike is never seeing anything more than a curb drop.

Tell me more about the grey tires... would they happen to say UMMA GUMMA on them? The Specialized tire compound from that era was so grippy!
