Looks a like fun ride! Been considering adding an off-road capable bike to the stable to join friends on their weekly Alligator Ride (truly amongst alligators, wild hogs, an other assorted swampland wildlife) over gravel/broken pavement paths that were formerly used to service agricultural irrigation equipment. Tried it once on a hybrid road (Giant Escape) bike with 38mm tires and it about beat me to death!

EDIT: I made the assumption that you have strap type stays. If they are the rod type, disregard my reply.

Rod type I'm afraid, so may have to resort to delicate surgery.

My wife expressed a casual interest in trying that "bike thing". I dug around in the parts bin and came up with this. Honest,..... if she likes riding, I'll spend a few more bucks on her.

Simply OUTSTANDING!!! I won't even attempt to beat your mileage record. I can only hope that I'm still kicking (and pedaling) in another 25 years!

Just worked on a pair of those last weekend for my cousin's. All they really needed was a good scrubbing, a little lube and a slight tweak on the rear derailleur trim on one of them. I know they've put a ton of miles on them over the past 18 years or so but they have held up well. Is your's a rigid frame? Their's have rear suspension, not sure I cared for it

Fully rigid, it hits the curb at 28 pounds without the rack and fenders.
Mine is a 2000, it saw very few miles before I bought it last summer.
