Show us (your) 80's mountain bikes !

[stumpjumper1990]

stumpjumper1990, I'm surprised to see a Peugeot amongst your other beauties !
I also own one, Crazy Horse model, of course not because I get excited with it but because they were the first available MTBs here in France from 1984 on.
It's in a sorry state but it'll get restaured someday ... after tenths of other vintage projects :roll:

Cheers
Karl

Hi Karl,

I found it for €20 and thought I could use some parts. It turned out to be completely original ( even the tires in good condition) so I decided to keep it for now... Not surr what to do with it....

Cheers,
Bart

my 1986 specialized rock hopper

I like

I love that Overbury's too.

Boring old 80's Kona:

I like Kona's, but I'm no massive fan, just neutral I suppose. However, your bike is one of the nicest, of any brand, that I've ever seen on RetroBike. I've never seen a bike look so "right" as this one. Fantastic!

I want some of those red GIANT fork decals for my Super Sierra now!!

They look so simple and uncluttered, like they'd ride forever.

I've yet to break an 80's bike that has been well built and cared for; I believe mine will ride forever

what a great thread this is! My interests in retro bikes is moving from mid nineties to late eighties early nineties. Now I need to get myself an eighties bike!

Bart, what size is that '88 comp? Is it a 19.5 inch? If so, I''d like to know the top tube length on that frame...

Pim, size from seattube ctc is 50 cm or 20 inch, toptube ctc is 57,5 cm or 23 inch. I think it's a size 20,5 inch if they measure it ctt!? Seems to small for a 19,5.
