Not exactly sure of the year but the decals seem close enough. Started out as an 18 speed. Now an upgraded 21 speed with Shimano DeoreLX/Altus mountain mix. Dumped the high rise stem and bars. Went with a cromo stem and alloy bars. Turned out to be another great go anywhere do anything kinda bike. one to look for on the cheap and good enough of a foundation to dump money into and not sweat it.

Yellow pads...flashy! Don't think I've ever seen brake levers like that. Then again I'm not really into MTB.
Nice looking bike.

I like that. What are you going to ask for it, just curious?

Nice looking bike.

the levers are rare vintage Tektro brand from the early 90's. They were a pull from a 1994 Schwinn Crisscross
