what are the specs on that street stomper? i get the feeling from the name it was lower than the hard rock and not really intended for off road

The one I had came with Shimano light action mechs, I believe the shifters were 6 speed index only. The brakes were dia-compe 983, sugino triple crank (steel rings). I think it was straight gauge tubing. The weird thing about the one I had (it was the blue one) was the stem/bar, it was a 26.4 clamp..I've never seen a quill of that size before. From what I read, it seems like more of an on-road bike as you mentioned.

Haven't been able to find much on the brand, but figured it nothing of great value. It is a Jetter Quest. For $40 I figured couldn't go wrong..especially with the Suntour power thumbies. Also, I sold the horrible modern Specialized saddle for $20 the same day so not a bad start.

Build plans include: brown Brooks B-67, leather grips, triple crank, Suntour Vx-gt luxe RD, and eventually a wheel rebuild.

Jetter was Shoguns B brand which I found out when trying to find info on my Jetter road bike. My Jetter was made with Tange 900 tubing & was pretty low end but that didn't stop me from building it up using everything from a Trek SL 1000 that had a bad frame.

This is a Olympia Mountain Tech that I picked up for cheap, but I can't find out anything about it. It's a little small for me. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it.

I wound up with this Miyata CityRunner today, after some trading. Neat ride, low center of gravity.

OTS 

Ahhhhh the Miyata from "Monster Pawn"
Went back to look at it 2x.
Glad someone from C&V rescued it.
Happy Trails

Yeah, I was afraid it was too small for me, but the geometry has a bottom-bracket forward and low bottom bracket that makes it very doable for me. Dropped off a Trek 4500 in trade, should be out there now..

Just goes to show there's still a lot of killer deals out there if you're willing to buy early mountain bikes.

They look like they're from around '86...stems, Diacompes, Tange tubes, friction Suntour, horizontal drops with adjusters. Really solid bikes.

They're $250 bikes in my local market.

Gravity Aided

Sweet bikes- anything like that for $15 is a great deal, yet you see it all the time. There for a while, people were just giving away old mountain bikes, just to get something with suspension. Give me greater fork rake and longer chainstays anyday.

dgodave

I was thinking similar. But I dont really know, and Shogun info seems to be pretty sparse online.
.
At $30 each I was walking away. Then she said, how about 2 for 1 ? Couldnt resist that.
.
Not sure what to do with them. I can always use some spare mtbs for guests and friends, so perhaps just make them as ridable as possible.
.

frantik

they look pretty cool.. shame they are PG tubes, though in the early-mid 80s they had only just barely started making lighter tubesets for mtbs. hard to turn down sweet lugged mtbs at $15 a pop though!

bet they would make some cool singlespeed/townie/cruiser type bikes

dgodave

What do you mean "pg tubes"? (I see that on the Tange decal, but not familiar with it.)
.

Gravity Aided

"Plain Gauge"

dgodave

Oh, of course.

My foul weather do all bike, a 1987 Cannondale SM400 converted to a 3 speed with a Sturmey Archer hub. This bike is as old as I am, but is rock solid.

Love the Cannondale! Those rear chain stays and seat stays are LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG.

ncrnelson

Thanks. Yeah those chainstays go on for days, never had to worry about heelstrikes though

This is looking very nice, well done.

emarks

She's not a mountain bike anymore...

Aemmer

Dig it. My first Mtn bike...
Got me addicted.

clubman 

Nice. It's doing what it was meant to do. After all, it has fork braze-ons...

The sprung saddle is the right choice. In my day, it was a Brooks Conquest.

edit...but maybe consider losing the kickstand? Please?
