Thumpic, thanks for the compliment. Portland Metro is a hot bike market and even really poor quality bikes seem to go for $200 or sometimes more. I was really lucky to find this one across the river in Vancouver (Washington state). It was a rust bucket in the sense that every thing that could get rusty was rusty - not super deep rust, but it took more than 60 hours of taking apart, cleaning, derusting, reassembling....of course I'm inexperienced so it took longer because of that too, but there was rust everywhere. Interesting, I think, that the handlebars seem more like BMX type bars. I guess initially bike companies weren't sure how popular MTB biking would be so they tended to use parts they were already producing, like BMX parts.
I should post pictures of my Fuji Sundance 1986 with roller cam brakes!
