A stolen pic of my first real MTB, it was a big step up from the single speed Schwinn Typhoon with Arya aluminum rims and a single massive rear side pull brake.
I would like to find one of those Ross MB's one day. Never know.
Good for the OP. They drop bikes off at my local dump that get picked up by a person who disperses them throughout south east Asia. Met him once, good guy.
You can't take anything out of my local dump, nor buy it from them either. Zip, nada.
Closest thing I have to the 2000 is this thrift find from 2020. Did have to pay $120. Seat peddles, riser, and tires brought it to $280. The seat is on the Grizzly for now....
