Great frames, those Fire Mountains.

Yeah, rides pretty good. Just wish it was a larger frame. Feels kinda twitchy under me which I think is due to the small size and shorter wheelbase. Will be sold when I finish cleaning it up.

You gotta embrace the twitch, it's what makes retro MTBs fun. Just call it "responsive handling"

Nearly completed new Marriott Courtyard. A rare business in a landlocked town that hates all businesses. Well, until they found out how much a hotel-motel tax would generate. Cha Ching.

Does this ol' Bridgestone count as a bridge?

*I was not able to clear it...

Docks are kinda like bridges to boats...

Thanks - I have been on the lookout for one of these for a while. So when this one popped up for sale on friday at a more than reasonable price, I jumped on it. I even got a discount
It was a quick, and easy project, as it only needed some new tyres and a different saddle (my arse is too small for those big, cushy ones), which I already had lying around.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Yeah I've got one too, love the simplicity: just hop on it and ride! They can still be fun on light to moderate dirt and gravel too, but the coaster takes getting used to
