Thoughts on an old Fisher Mt Tam

[bewheels]

Hi All,
I have a 1985-86 Fisher Mt Tam. I bought a one new in 85' but the seat collar separated from the seat tube within the first month. So they sent me an 86' model at the end of 85' because they did not have any more 85' green/yellow fades left to send me.

I rode it all the time for 3 years before it became a back-up bike and lived in the garage up until now. I am considering selling it but am not sure of potential interest or value. The only one I see on eBay is this one - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-198...e-Shimano-Deore-XT-20-Bike-Blue-/350530183343

Any thoughts or advice?

Thanks

I don't know the value but that ebay seller, BBC bikes, would not be a good reference point for price. He is commonly discussed here and his prices are often 4x the value. Early MTB stuff defnitely has a strong following. You may want to check out the forums at mtbr.com as this would be their specialty. Good luck.

MT Tams can be cool bikes to keep. Do you have any pictures? Also Check the bottom bracket for serial numbers.

Thanks guys - I will grab some pictures and the serial number and post them back here.

Pictures

Here are a few pictures of the bike... The reason for the black bars is that Fisher had a recall on their bars. This is the replacement set they sent. They would not send me a matching set.

pictures are nice, did you check the serial numbers?

Final go to it. The serial number is "21T45".

Some nice fillet brazed goodness. I really like the green/yellow.

Final go to it. The serial number is "21T45".

Did you happen to see the letters TET some where on the bottom bracket? I would say the value is between $300 and $450 to the right person. GLWS

No, the only thing I am seeing is "21T45".

Thanks
