It was 1980 something...

Actually it was 1984 from what I can best find out so far. A good buddy of mine found this bike about to be dumped in the trash truck and grabbed it. Saturday when he came to visit he brought it up for me. Today after work I was finally able to try it out. After about an hour of fixing little items it was ride time. This Mountain Tour is awesome! I may have found a new commuter. While I won't be doing any hard trails or rough area with it this bike puts a huge smile on my face. What a blast to ride, went ahead and did my own mini "Mountain Tour" with it. That was a fun ride, just wanted to share!

BTW- This is also my first 650B bike, so I will get to see what all the talk is about now! :thumbsup:
















You know I am happy!
