1986 Specialized Stumpjumper Sport. I bought this on Ebay over a decade ago from a junk dealer in Gloucester, Massachusetts and spent more to have it packed and shipped by a local bike shop. Originally purchased at the Magnolia Bike Shop in Magnolia, Mass. - spent its entire life in Gloucester, where it had a hard life. Must have many thousands of miles as the braking surface on the rear rim was paper thin and all the chainrings were all replacements. Got her back on the road with the help of my local bike shop. 23" lugged frame, Shimano Deer Head, Specialized "Flag" 180mm crankset. It's fairly light and has a solid, smooth ride.

1987 (I think) Miyata Trail Runner. Something about this bike I really like. It's got a great look.

This is as I found it. I haven't gone through it yet, or ridden it other than down the street a couple of times.

Love that green! Was looking at a Bianchi Grizzly in their celeste green, but it was a bit too tall for me.

I acquired this 1998 Proflex K2 3000 today. It’s in great shape and I got it cheap.

Swapped the rigid fork (not OE) to a Girvin. Tried an AMP, but it wouldn't clear the DT when steering much past straight. Gonna break it in tomorrow morning at a TT, at our local trail.
