BoTM Bike of The Month March 2024 - now taking entries

[Neko]

Worth a shot…
Neko’s 1989 Miyata Ridge Runner Team. Bought for my dad, 90% original. Fully restored as a rider. Still on the hunt for the correct two chainrings.

I haven’t entered for a while as I’ve been busy with my real job sadly.
But I finished this recently.

It's a 1995 Gary Fisher Marlin. It was practically unridden when I got it. I meant it to be a cruiser/grocery getter but once I put the parts on (mostly parts bin, couple of take-offs, new tires) and took it out for a ride I realized it went like the wind. Because of the short chainstays and the (now) short stem it feels incredibly playful and jumpy. Really looking forward to taking it out onto some flowy singletrack.
