not much to say bout it. I think its an early 90s mtb it has vertical drop outs.
I was looking for a chain tensioner, and I was told a "half-link" chain would work.
I bought one and then changed the rear sprocket to a slightly smaller one and a regular 8 sp chain works fine. took it for a long ride on Sunday and everything is great.
most parts I had or was donations. I purchased the grips 5 bucks and cranks for 15. was a fun build and even more fun to ride... :lol: :eek: :D

love the simplicity. my bike guy has a whole bunch of 20" to 26" chrome frames. all of them are very simple, and very similar. always asked why he didnt get other inds, "people like these" and i have to agree :D
