Maybe they're going to send you a WWI military bike or something.....otherwise, i'd think you've already owned an 80's "Classic" mountain bike? They still available for about 50 bucks on occasion at thrift stores and oddball second hand shops, like an early 80's Ross i bought in '17 to tour NYC with. <br /><br />One poster's suggestion of retrofitting an MB-1 with northroad bars, slick fatties and fenders is refined and classic. Like a 19th century safety frame redux with gears, coasting, and clampers... which mirrors the build on my current quiver of one (by virture of moving cross-continent in a compact vehicle) that excels, kinda, across the spectrum of road or trail. Which brings to mind - how's that 'bike of one' experiment working out for you this year? Has it faltered amid all the others you've been riding? Which was it again, old rusty or the Milwaukee?

Even watched one of them snap when the rider in front of me stood up on a small hill. Apparently the fluting on the old Campagnolo Super Record Strada crank is a stress riser and leads to fatigue cracks.1904 Cadardinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-61985597850978574092018-09-26T14:02:05.658-04:002018-09-26T14:02:05.658-04:00So, the vintage MTB collection at Classic is lacki...So, the vintage MTB collection at Classic is lacking any really old bikes. No converted Schwinn Excelsiors. No early Ritchey, Fisher, or Cunninghams. Not even a 1984 Stumpjumper, the first mass production MTB, that used a combo of road, touring, bmx, and motorcycle parts.<br /><br />Their earliest example is a claimed '86 American Comp Lite, but the 6 speed indexed XT M730 group on it came out in 1987. Weird early aluminum bike.<br /><br />The 1987 Diamondback Arrival and Schwinn Cimarron are closest to the early MTB design, with geometry based on the excelsior beach cruiser, cro-moly construction. Both bikes run the XT M730 group. The geo is actually not far off from the Jones, with long stays, slack seat angle short reach. Considerably slacker head angle and wider bars, tho.<br /><br />The two bikes that seem right up Bikesnob's alley are the 1987 Cunningham Racer, and the 1989 Bridgestone MB-1.<br />http://classiccycleus.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/1987-Cunningham-Racer.jpg<br />Charlie Cunningham has similar design approach to Jeff Jones. Re-imagining all components of the bike, from hub spacing, to handlebars. The aluminum and proprietary brakes and bb may be a deal breaker.<br /><br />http://classiccycleus.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/1990-Bridgestone-MB-1.jpg<br />Grant Petersen design, japanese tange tubing, full retro. This bike would be sick with some northroad bars, slick fatties and fenders.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-42802713818164314302018-09-26T09:15:37.041-04:002018-09-26T09:15:37.041-04:00Go to Youtube and search for the 35mm Dutch film o...Go to Youtube and search for the 35mm Dutch film on the 1953 TDF.
