Nice thing is tires over 2.125" fit easy.

My first complete multi-speed mountain bike rebuild. I found this mid 90's Treck Singletrack in the trash not far from my house. Because my heart breaks everytime I see a bike in the trash. I had to check it out. Turns out that rims and frame were in great condition other than being weathered a bit I decided to start a new project. I managed to spend nearly $300 on new components updating just about everything. I've had it out on multiple trails it has held up wonderfully through the early part of this season.

Nice color use - is she trail worthy?

Thanks. Rail-to-trail worthy. More of a cruiser now.

Maybe that line should be: "Friends don't let friends ride standard mountain bikes"

Luke.

Real friends let friends ride what ever they want.
Personally I'm happy to see some one riding any kind of bike.

Hey!! No dissing MTB-ers. There are many hard-core MTB-heads on this site!! Here in Utah, when your old MTB goes out-of-fashion, it generally gets turned into a Townie or stuffed in the garage. I will say that the older, steel framed MTB's are tough as nails, and make for good townies, rats, or donor frames.

This reminded me of a similar one....."Friends don't let friends ride JUNK" (rossignol)

These are a GT 26" MTB and a Schwinn Ascension 29 frame on 26" rims I converted to single speed with freewheel
front brakes on the GT, no brakes on the Schwinn.
did the gearing on both so the chain didn't need a tensioner even with no fork end rear

This was my first build. I call it Kounter-Klunkwise. A 1980 Murray Baja Eagle River reborn as a single speed coaster brake cruiser.

Old mountain bikes are tough, dirt cheap, and can make great cheap riders. My go-to bike is an old custom hybrid (basically an early mountain bike frame that fit 700c)—rides comfortably, sits high, handles cargo without a problem, has gearing that doesn't care about anything, great lighting, a paint job designed to look fine beat up, and gets a ton of comments. Cars even give me more space on the road in it!

Update: Did a tire upgrade and installed a hairpin saddle. I think this is right where I want it. Cruised like butter during today's 40 mile ride

Nice! I love those old GT frames, just that little bit more interesting than a normal triangle MTB...

That's an early-80s TN-built Murray, though, Luke.... not a GT!

Woops! Thought I was looking at a triple triangle GT... Never seen anything else with that frame design...
