This 94’ Nishiki has been on the Tecate sponsored Rosarito Beach to Ensenada Mexico 50 miler a few times. Got it new the same year I got married. Installed a new stem to get the bars up and new tires this week. Compared to the Hardrock it’s heavier with an increased pedal effort overall. Perhaps more rolling resistance. The traditional Mountain Bike frame is a little more over the pedals than the farther forward more slope top tube on the Hardrock. Lots of great memories with this ol battle axe. Someone needed my seat on one of the runs and finished the last 10 without. I used my shoe on the post down hill and back on to pump up. Amazing what Beer and Tacos can do for you. Might make a 5-7 speed cruiser out this one eventually. Long post but it evoked a few memories today.
Still not old school exciting but earning me stripes first !!

Main Street is a highway that leads from western Wa. Over mountains to eastern Wa.( North Cascade Highway one of most scenic routes in Wa.) Really busy in summer, but highway closes in winter in higher up due to snow.
