This vintage Takara Scout MTB sat out in the weather for a while it was at the curb with a free sign on it my son rescuded it from his neighbor in Prescott AZ. I tore it completely down and cleaned & cleaned & lubed everything, replaced the head set, bottom bracket & chain, brake pads, derailleur & brake cables, grips, tubes & tires, reassembled it and adjusted the brakes and derailleurs the thing rides and functions like a champ. It's a complete gas to ride. I can't believe what people are willing to toss out or just give up on.
. Anyhoo, I wasn’t going to waste a 20 minute trip so I went against their advice and went on a solo excursion and still had a blast. I normally bring a different bicycle every time that I show up and it’s to the point where people are waiting to see what I’m rolling on next. But due to this circumstance they’ll see this classic aluminum (aircraft grade…no weight wienerdom here but this has to be the lightest bike that I own and its a blast to ride) multi terrain beautiful brute next time I show up there. So for the haters until they find a way to cope just keep crying…for I can use those tears to jazz up my coffee a bit. Anyhoo, I’m done rambling. One love y’all.
