I plan of a bit a nostalgia trip by re-building my first three MTBs 
...No.1 ....
Bought this bike in 1990 (iirc) and used it extensively up to 1993 when I got a KHS Montana Team and sold this bike to a mate for his wife to use. He's kindly 'donated' it back to me
This bike did many miles with me, mostly day rides in the Chilterns, but also trips to the Lake and Peak Districts
A few photos as it currently is....
Pretty sure it had a saddle fitted for her to use! :shock:
Dirt and cobwebs standard
The original Mk1 wad 'crud' catcher! (before mr crud came along I might add!)....made at work whilst I should have been doing other things! ....
Original front mech engrained with genuine Peak District dirt
An (expensive!) upgarde after the original Suntour died!...
Still has my original Smoke on it
....and the lightweight (made all the difference you know) Kingsberry bottle cage!
A few (bitd) 'action' shots ....
With the mate I sold it to (on his Peugeot) in the Lake District...
With a mate (who raced man V Horse V Bike etc) doing a summer Lake District route in the winter!...I was wrecked ....
Trying to decide what to do with it now :? ...we shall see.
Cheers
