You always remember your first right?
Well this was mine. I got one new in January of 1992 from Cycle Logic in Toronto. It was a demo bike and I got a pretty good deal on it as I recall. I lived on this in the summer of 1992 ... so many great memories and scars. It was stolen when I was 17 and I got a FS as a replacement.
It's been hard as heck to track down one of these in any sort of decent condition. I find its easier to get your mitts on a high end bike in great shape than a lower end one. As luck would have it, finally, one came up in Hamilton. I paid $40 for it
The bike was rode for a single season and parked. It was filthy and the owner replaced the seat which was vermin eaten. Only downside is that he decided to get it out to ride with his kid and didn't think if doing any maintenance on the 28 year old tubes. Shredded the yellow label specialized tires after they blew
What my $40 got me ...
Tore down to the frame and rebuilt.
As it sits awaiting the snow. Outside of the fat tires, seatpost, and no oddesey straddle rods this is the clone to my original bike.
