Gary Fisher made in Taiwan (with True Temper) Hoo Koo e Koo. Blue, 88 vintage -
Nov, 87 date codes on the cranks. Well it's used. Looks like the original
freewheel, a lot of wear on it and the shift wheels. Needs the cables, pads and
such I knew it needed before I saw it. But patching a tire and some lubrication
was enough to do some test riding. Damn, this must've been a monster bike in
it's day. That frame is no heavier than a good road bike.
Paid $40, it'll take another $50 to get everything sweet and then we'll see what
I end up doing with it. If I find myself pounding lots of trail, that'll tell me
what tires and pedals I want. If it's just running around town then slicks,
fenders and racks.
I am highly gruntled.
