New York Albertan
Old School Hero
Moving this into a new thread to get some more opinions.
I am looking at "retro" rides, for a number of reason - cost being one, but I've never been one to follow the crowd! Currently investigating two Kuwahara's (an old Savage and an old Shasta), a '97 Specialized Rockhopper, a Cannondale F300, and old late 80's Raleigh Matterhorn... A '91 Miyata Evolution... A Univega Rover-306... Three Treks - 830/930 early 90s (one's fantastic looking, but too expensive) and a '92 820 Antelope ($60), a late 80's Fiori (Norco Canada)... An early 90's Giant 870 ATX... And a mid-90's Schwinn Sierra. I really want to re-experience the old steel frames, once again.
Thoughts? All seem in the same, reasonable condition. Maybe a few need a tune up, and a few are road ready.
