Glad you like these videos. Lugged mountain bikes are super durable and can be built up into virtually any kind of bike - road, gravel, commuting, etc Pretty much anything except serious mountain biking ironically. $200 is a good price if the components are higher end and it’s in good shape. Make sure the size is right for you and good luck! Maybe I’ll do a video just on old mountain bikes. Thanks for the inspiration.

In MA, I got a ZebraKenco Golden Sports road bike similar size. It obviously spend time outside on wet cape cod. It has a smaller stem size, maybe French? I stripped the decent suntour parts off of it and the frame is ready for recycling. I also got a Motobecane mixte in the same haul and had to dissolve the seatpost in lye and obviously going to put more money in it than I should.

I love Mixte frames so I approve. I've never done the lye thing but have always considered it as a plan z. Those motobecanes use a smaller seat post size too I believe, so you might have to hunt around for that. Old beach bikes take a beating from the sea air. Shame the zebra frame is too far gone but at least you got some decent parts. I'm surprised it uses non standard parts if it's Japanese but I haven't worked on many of those bikes.

I'm not sure why but I love these videos. I'm kinda new to restoring vintage bikes and it's interesting to see how you gauge the value of some of these bikes. And I've seen some real absurd listings, like a '96 Voodoo Hoodoo for $2800. Anyway, there's a '92 Trek 990 that I've been eyeing for a week going for $200. It's garage kept and supposedly in near perfect condition. Should I go for it? I've always wanted a lugged mountain bike.
