@Pondo said a while ago that I should post pictures of my old mountain bikes and I still haven't delivered.
I'll make up for it here now.
I stumble across bikes from time to time, online or offline, and then see what I want to do with them. Some I keep, others I sell after I've made them fit again. If I'm lucky, I'll have something left over to work on a new project.
Let's start with the oldest frame I run as an MTB/Klunker, my old HWE Rex from the 50's.
That's how I bought it:
and now:
The second oldest MTB I have right now and also my second latest aquisition is this Campus ATB from 1987, built not to far away from where I live. Nice lugged Ishiwata frame with lugged Tange fork.
That's how I got it (found in the trash):
and now:
I could reuse all the parts except for the tires, tubes, cables and brake pads.
I think I keep it for some touring as it is super comfy to ride.
Another bike I got for free was this 1994 GT Karakoram.
I rebuilt it into a sunny day commuter/transporter and I love it!! It can handle almost everything I want.
I'm gonna post the rest of the pack soon if you still want and are not bored already
