1983 Bianchi Grizzly early mtb

[fatbike]

Got this sweet ride from a fellow caber at Iron Ranch. Crazy head tube angle 68 degrees and a big frame. Been riding and commuting with it this week. Its not build for speed unless its straight down.

Nice tubing, Itshiwata Magny and lugged. Ita a cool bike.

Nice! I really like the slack geometry on early MTBs

Agreed.

Great bike! The new normal for MTBs is a slack HT angle as well (for those of you not keeping track)

I haven't been keeping track. Are they still using those nasty suspension forks?

Sure are it's uncommon to find steel bikes out on the trail anymore. All carbon or alloy.
