Sorta playing catchup with bikes and builds here. Sorry for the SPAM.
I am going to start a thread on a bit of a lesser known brand by vintage mtb standards and one that deserves a lot more recognition
- Ventana Mountain Bikes
http://www.ventanausa.com/
Feel free to add your own bikes and info. I have few bikes I have been entrusted with to restore and share, but it be cool to see what everyone else has.
Ventana was started by Sherwood Gibson and a Partner in '88 and still exists today. They have been behind numerous advancements in design and Sherwood has been the torch behind many other brands success including the Fat Chance reboot. Sherwood is one of the nicest guys in the industry, and not a guy that seeks the spotlight. He was also a heck of a racer and rider.
Prior to the Ventana brand, Sherwood was doing BMX components and building bikes. In 1985 he got into MTB and never stopped to this day. Here is bike number 1 ... The Sherwood Gibson "Dirt Bag #1". A nice place to start
