Got myself a worldclass mountainbike for 100€, renovated it (in a shop) for 260€ more, use it to roam around in the city, it's light, fun, and the breaks are from anorher world!

Why was it so cheap? It's from like 1998...

But I mean if it was good for world champs then, it's good enough for me today.

And there wasn't an issue finding parts? Good work!

The repair shop has a 5 star only rating on google, the guy: oh yeah it was 26" back in the day, the three gears in front, the parrallax breakes, oh the bomber fork, the ... and on and on, every thing with "they don't do that any more" but he managed to find replacements for everything worn out. 5/5 !
