Finally - The Dump Coughs One Up - Yahoo...
The last bike that I found at the dump occurred over three years ago and it looked like this phooey-stinko steed...
But today, after no luck for a while, I got something special and, more importantly, a mountain bike that is old, Canadian made and fairly high end. Gonna get at it real soon...
Is there such a thing as a Devinci Ford? Really does not matter cause I have been watching Facebook and Kijiji for a decent mountain bike. Time to get to work. Guess the Quintanno Roo will go back on the hooks to be restored another day.

Well, this just blew my kilt up! The only thing that I could find wrong with the bike is a busted right brake/shifter lever assembly, Will go to B4H on Monday morning to see if I can find a replacement. The cosmetics are not great but I really don't care too much. This old seven speed mountain bike is for the lonely roads that surround my lake cottage. Been keeping my eye open for a good deal. Got a good deal.
