Looked at an old (early 80-s?) vintage Nashbar mountain bike this afternoon. I want an old rigid steel mountain bike as an occasional offroad and all-around streetbike. The XT had a cool factor about it. The brake pivots were missing off of the front fork, with only vestigial stumps remaining. Has a 1" steerer tube. Is this a bike worth buying & fixing? Or a hacked-up roach? The kid seemed clueless about it. The frame was the right size for me.
