Picked up this stunner yesterday after having consumed quite a bit of xbiking content on reddit and resto mods and such on youtube. They don't come up too often in my neck of the woods and there's definitely a lack of cheapos I see here. But after contemplating on this bike for a few weeks a decided to jump in.
It's as far as the previous owners knows, fully stock, same original tires, same brake pads. And it's in remarkably good condition. It's so good I'm even reluctant in doing what I intended, turning it into a all year (snow!) bike. We'll see how I enjoy the bike in the coming months as I won't be doing anything major until I know I really enjoy it. But I do have new tires, tpu tubes and brake pads on order at least. Then for next year we'll see if I'll be swapping to a 1x with a 10 or 11 speed set up. And maybe other bars, maybe drop bars… who knows!
Initial ride impressions are good, despite the almost 30 year old sluggish tires, it's so comfortable!

looks to be in fantastic condition. congrats and welcome.
what are your plans?
I love the idea of riding it for a bit to feel it out. Great find, though, and welcome to the club.
So it was you who bought it. Only saw the ad after it was already sold, nice find!
