what was your SECOND mountain bike?

[john]

perhaps more can be told about a rider by knowing what his second bike was. Most of us had the necessary shit first mtb, the low end raeligh in 23" frame or similar. Once that was smashed up or found lacking we moved on.
So what was next?

My second was a 1991 GT karakoram. Saw a lot of action that bad boy. Still have it ready to rebuild one day...

My Explosif, student loan gone in a flash and does not owe me anything. Will have it forever.

1988 Saracen Trekker. Aquarius blue and two U Brakes. And crucially the correct size (18in) after the first bike being a 19.5in. Loved that bike.

1990 Saracen TuffTrax, in blue with a mountain LX gruppo, loved it!

1986 Cannondale SM600 (1987 model) in green. Just like this one.....

Not the actual bike which was stolen mid nineties, this is a recreation done earlier this year, only thing I changed was the saddle which was garbage to a super turbo as in the pic.

I still have it, of course - I still have all my bikes...

A Saracen Kili Flyer in about 90-91 (It's a long time ago!). That must mean I kept my Muddy Fox Explorer for at least five years before I changed it. :shock:
