New York Albertan
Old School Hero
See on for $60CDN. Needs a tune up. Looks like relatively new Nimbus FlakJacket 26" tires...
The Antelope is 20". I'm looking for 17-19# (5'9")Old kuwaharas are bombproof. I got a 97 rockhopper which was my main rider for a long time, probably should get that one back on the road soon.
60 moose dollars for old rideable steel from a reputable brand is good.
I'm 5 foot 10 and ride anything from 17 to 20 myself, depends on the riding position you prefer. What other bikes are you looking at?The Antelope is 20#. I'm looking for 17-19# (5'9")
Tough to decide on which one to get! I posted the others I'm looking at, as well. The Miyata is real cheap, and outside some paint chipping, seems to be an ideal commuter, as well.Old kuwaharas are bombproof.

My Norco Wolverins is 20#. My daily commuter, now dying on me. I could probably handle the Antelope. I should check it out.
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... Two Treks - 830/930 early 90s (one's fantastic looking, but too expensive), 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.
