You are looking at a Spot Brand mountain bike, made from steel; and those are the only two things that I can say about this bike with absolute certainty.
 You are looking at - again - a 2001 Brodie Rocket, and it is The War Wagon - my entry to the 2025 Cheap Bike Build Off.
 You are looking at a 1993 KHS Montana Comp, and it's an entirely adequate mountain bike, not necessarily worthy of a lot of words. However, let's talk about it in the context of a current Instagram contest and how it fits in with what I do with old bikes....Just so many bikes... 1. Kona Explosif. Super cool Columbus tubed frame that I would have kept if it was larger. Built it up as in the picture, couldn't sell it, took it apart and sold the frame. 2. Rocky Mountain Vertex 70. This was a damn hot rod; super light, full XTR, Rock Shox SID, and I got it for a song because the seller felt the fork was gone. It needed a good deal of work besides that, but the fork just needed air in both the positive and negative chambers. I'm going to guess the seller didn't know about the negative chamber. I maybe should have kept this as it was the best aluminium bike they made in '11, but I just wasn't feeling it. 3. Specialized Rockhopper. I bought this for an amount of money that I can't recall, tuned it up, and sold it for an amount that I can't remember. |
