Hi all!
I'm new to the forum.
I just purchased this bike at a yard sale for $50!
The bike is in perfect condition. I don't think it was ever used.
Just sat in the guys shed. The only thing is the tire are cracked in a few places.
No rust or wear!
Can anyone give me some info on this bike.

The key to that bike is the fork. If the fork has seized from sitting around, you basically have a $50 bike. If the fork is free and not sagging, but working correctly, you got a real bargain. I'd replace the tires and put it up for around $150. You can try for more, but keep in mind, old MTBs don't bring anywhere near what old high quality road bikes bring. Basically, that's because technology had advanced rapidly for MTBs, but not so much for road bikes.
