I think I bought a new bike!!!!!!
I was just perusing the internet and came across this. Vintage Trek 8500 mtb frame. Vintage marzocchi fork. small size. I spy parallelogram pedals and potentially a very nice xt/lx shimano crankset. Metro slicks, and an obsolete drivetrain with cogs so thick it will outlast armageddon.
My daughter is outgrowing her 20 inch bike, and this is a little big for her, but my wife would fit it, and, heck, it even fits me in it's current seat up/big handlebar form.
THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD BOMBER!!!!- Hence the marzocchi bombers. I can't wait!!!! Unlike air forks, spring zokes just keep getting better, like an old guitar!
(In other news- my daughter just rode my wife's specialized roubaix. She might not even want the Trek.)- It's good to be a dad!
The price was right. Daughter approved (she'll grow into it). I'll see it tomorrow. I feel as excited as Baz and his new volvo!
