yeah, a tenant left it behind, and the landlord put it on c/l, figured it might be worth $20 to someone before he took it for scrap, I agreed it was. need to figure out some kind of lighting system for the tank....
edit, SOME of the components are not high end. that (slingshot) stem IS cool. i've got one I'm waiting to put on a build... agree w/ kb - clean, lube, ride
good bike if you need a mtb. don't know for sure about value, but doesn't look like a high-end bike based on lower-end components (1 pc crank, plastic pedals, etc.) does look like a decent lugged frame though...
well just picked this up this week before it went to scrap. so when is the next build-off? this one will practically build itself! - already have some of the parts I need, but last time I said that I still haven't finished that bike yet, though I'm making progress....
when you put the smaller chainring on, fit the original chain and see how many links too many it has. you can then with a chain breaker tool remove the necessary amount, or do the same with a new chain.
my 1997 enduro. I changed the bars, seat and pedals. otherwise (except maybe tires) og. I even have owner's manual. I agree w/ mikeybikee - not so good in dirt - throws chain. mountain bike is better - deurailler keeps tension on chain.
