One size smaller than ideal for me but fits the kid quite well.

Not many issues with the project other than those sealed bearings were beyond shot. Other than saddle, grips, tires it's all OEM.
That's really pristine. Very nice job!

So, the '85/6 just got passed down a generation? That's great! My brother was thrilled that his Montare was going to stay in the family. We 'of a certain age' frequently hear, these days, that the next generations really don't want our stuff :-)

I hadn't visited that vintage MTB thread before. And now I must :-)
