I ride this beat up ol' Raleigh technium Ovation, the paint's battered, it's really slow,
but,damn, it'll climb anything. I've gotten too old for downhill fast anyway. Back in the
late 50s I'd downhill on an old Monarch with a springer fork & baloonies. Wasn't much of
a ride if ya didn't crash a couple times. That thing was indestructable.
I just bought this 98 Giant boulder with rock Shox for $35. A gal was getting rid of her
exe's bike.It's a nicer bike, excellent condition, but I can't seem to warm up to it, still
love that Raleigh.
