Ukrainian Oldschool MTB

[Dontstapko]

Hi everyone! Me and my friends are from Lviv, Ukraine. Every weekend we riding local trails on our old two-wheelers, my bike is 1990 Specialized Hardrock currently in klunker build, which is most comfortable bike i ever rode. Our team is called "Твій друг", which means "Your friend" , we love and try to promote the old school of MTB in our region.
In this thread i will be posting some pics from our weekend rides and our bike builds.
Here are some pics to start with:

Hi and welcome!

Looks like a cool initiative; some lovely bikes you're riding that seem to be in ace condition..!
Is it snowy in your part of the Ukraine at the moment, or are those some older pictures?

Enjoy, spread the retro vibe

If you weren’t quite so far away I’d try and coerce you into coming to Mountain Mayhem in 2019
