Went to the Morro Bay bike park the other day and saw this hanging out by the tool table and nobody around. It was still there and nobody coming to get it when I left an hour and a half later so I rescued it. Just in case I left a note with my name and number in case the owner wanted it back(no calls in 4 days so far). The rear brake had and interesting no-fix fix of tying the canti-brake cable that’s supposed to be on the hanger arch off to the seat stay support which I removed. I then reinserted the brake cable housing into its braze-ons and used one of the work bench wrenches to adjust the cable and fixed perfectly. It was also sans a seatpost/seat and grips and had flat tires. Today I sourced a seat post and seat from one of my donors and shimmed it with a mini tomato juice can. I pumped up the tires and took it for a quick back yard lap and discovered the shifter cables are seized. Other than that this thing looks like the scratches came from being shuffled around a garage. Not sure it’s ever really been ridden. The interwebs tell me it’s an ‘89. Reminds of my first MTB an ‘88 Stumpjumper!
