Bikes: A bunch of old bikes and a few new ones

The stem went to another bike in need. So I think that I will take my time on this one and maybe give it to our Grand Daughter who starts her Freshman year in College in a couple of weeks. I am still holding out for that Large Frame early '80's Specialized Stump Jumper!

Snip . . .
I rebuilt a late 80s rock hopper for my nephew to go to college with in Washington DC. When he graduated, I told him that the thing I was the most proud of was that he somehow managed to spend 4 years in DC without getting his bike stolen.
