Thx, I order it that color (wild cherry) because I had a purple Schwinn stingray when I was a kid.

I actually still use mine on the occasional up-hill.. I know it's not the "cool" thing to do anymore, but old habits are hard to brake lol.

I still use em quite a bit when I ride my Klein.

I was thinking more of how much the geometry has changed over the years. I would not want to take one of theses bikes on the cannonball trail at Ringwood. At least not in my group.

Trek Y. Sweet ride back in the day.

I had the steel S-Works MTB and road frames and kick myself for not keeping them.

Here's our middle-school Yeti AS-R. I stripped it and updated it for my son. I will say that the biggest advancement in mountain bikes has been disc brakes. Seriously have no idea how people ride without them.
This was a customer's. I offered him an insane amount of money for it and he turned it down. My wife and I both had these back in the 90's.
Restoration job from last year. This bike was the predecessor of what would become the GT LTS Carbon.
I have dozens of these pictures from resto jobs. Most guys don't like to get involved with this stuff but I love it.

Jim - those are some great rides!
I love old bikes, but I'm more into the survivor thing that restoration. Since bikes were my main interest since a little kid, I've kept most of mine including tons of spare parts. All of these are riders, I built them piece-by-piece back in the day, and probably have 4-5 more vintage BMX in frames and parts...

It was a hand-me-down from @pixychick. He's pretty much outgrown it now but can't decide what to get. I want him to get a Stumpy6Fattie so I can ride it now that we're the same size.

Would the yeti be up for sale?

Possibly, might go to my younger son if he wants it.
