It's nothing special, just exceptional.

Sealed SunTour hubs and BB spun like new. Very, very little wear on chain and crankset. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...560ebedbd4.jpg Original brake pads (yes, I'll replace them). Saw this on CL and had a hunch it would turn out to be really clean. Drove to Bangor to meet a picker from Millinocket, took one look, and handed him the modest amout he was asking: https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...6c79da5682.jpg All I've done is scrub off the 33 year old coating of preservative crud and swap out the tires with the only pair of 27s I had out in the barn. Box stock and mint! https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...e9659612e7.jpg Original bar tape and hoods. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...ff54bae817.jpg Paint really pops in the sunlight. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...d189368c14.jpg Arnie wouldn't lie, now, would he?

Always cool seeing a bike exactly as it sat on the showroom floor way-back-when. Love the blue sparkle. :thumb:
|
...........that's a "GREAT SCORE"
Congrats |
always wanted a dune buggy that color
|
WOW, that's gorgeous! Probably an '84 or '85? Any idea what kind of tubing?
|
Super cool. Especially since Nashbar is still going strong.
|
Tubing is Ishiwata double-butted cromoly. I refurb'd this one earlier this year.

Great find. Congrats!
|
Beautiful, I had a Nashbar and was amazed with the quality of the frame. Great find, enjoy! |
So sparkly...great score OP
|
Nice find! Looks to be top quality with a very nice finish. Anyone know who made the frames? |
Excellent find. I've heard those were excellent bikes.
|
I had one a year ago and it was a nice bike with the suntour sealed bearing hubs and Bottom Bracket.. nice score!
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...01ef18a2c9.jpg 1985 Nashbar Toure Mt |
Very nice. Somebody built that. That's what I like.
|
Reminds me of Mika Sakai fork crown from 83-84. Serial number?
|
I was looking for a bike for my daughter on some out of town (NY?) CL and saw a well built Supergo. Neat bike neat frame neat parts and lovely color. |

The 1984 version was called the Toure ST. The Toure MT was 1985 and this appears to be an excellent match for the 1985 catalogue image. Sorry, I couldn't scan it, as the two page spread was too big for the scanner bed. The Nashbar models that turn up from this period are typically Maruishi manufacture. Even the gold and blue tubing decal is reminiscent of Maruishi, though the colours are reversed and the stripe is horizontal, as opposed to diagonal.

Thanks T-Mar.
I've posted the serial # in the Asian number sticky. FWIW I paid less than a third of retail......:innocent: I'd love to see the spec sheet on the right. Top |
Great find!
Looks to be in excellent condition |
A recent thread about another Toure MT made me realize that I was delinquent in posting the requested specifications. :o Better late than never? Please accept my apology.

A more important question: Where can I get those vintage blue suede cycling shoes?
