Hey Mike, welcome to the forums. From the looks of your tires, you've got some dry rot going on. Start saving some money for some new treads! I'd buy another seat too! Otherwise, nice bike!

yea the tires are actually older than the bike, and it needs rims, probaby a cassette and chainrings, both shocks rebuilt, etc. its just too much money to dump into it right now, so im just gonna ride it till i destroy it and then start off fresh with something new or get a build kit and redo it from the frame up.

Welcome to the forums! Where do you usually ride? I would assume from your location that you go to case Mtn and Nepaug a lot (I've never been to either place). I live in Middletown and usually ride at places within a 20 mile radius. Hopefully we can share some local knowledge.

Connecticut riders unite!!!

I'm from Newington myself. I just rode Middlesex last night. The trails are a little wet and muddy, but not that bad at all.
