Trailmate

[Tuna]

I have never hear of Trail Mate before today. These look like nice bikes. Up until now, I may have been put off by the American bottom bracket thinking that this is a cheaper bike. That early Mtn bike is definitely a forerunner. The drum brake is an early solution to the problems that rim brakes pose and are now handled by disc brakes. Your friend is a pioneer. And you were smart to not just take the bike and uses, but also not to change it. I learned something.
