Ok, nevermind Cachehiker, your position of "Revered Old Mountain Biking Geezer" has been superceded.

By the way, "Backyard Frankensteins of the 70's" would make a great name for classic rock compilation album.

I remember that bike :five:

My first real mountain bike was in 1986, a mission bike, diamondback but I don't remember the model, I put a ton of miles on that thing until some dirtbag stole it from my garage. Then on to a diamonback Sorento that I rode the wheels off several times over :2thumbs:
