1980's mountain bike

Please, please, please sell me your early/mid 80's mountain bike.

Must be in fairly original condition but I'm not expecting a minter.

Go on, go on, go on, go on.

Or I'll sit here with my bottom lip sticking out for ever.

Mines now my tourer. I read an article ages ago about how old steel framed mtbs made good tourers... so that's what I did. It was a 1986 Avanti Barracuda, I brought it with me from NZ. I don't have the original Manitou sus forks any more, they got given away, so I couldn't rebuild it even if I wanted to!

This was it before the conversion, but in touring mode...

Er... we've got a mid/late 80s MTB we are about to sell. It's a Saracen in almost unused condition, a really nice riding bike. Full rigid, with XTR V brakes and Hope hubs with Mavic rims. PM me if you want some pictures.

Sorry, didn't see this!

I've picked up several bits and pieces to build one up so thanks, but no thanks:smile:
