This is a boy's model bike that belonged to a young man who is no longer with us. It was his mountain bike and he rode it at Moab and on other trails in the early 1990s. His mother gave it to me after he died in a car accident, about 23 years ago. I've had it since, keeping it maintained as my "first" bike. I just had a tune-up and repairs done on the bike a week ago, replacing one gear cable and housing. I rely on it for transportation around town, to the store and to get to the bus.
