My friend gave me this bike and I was wondering if anyone out there can tell me if it's worth fixing up. It's been sitting for years and needs cables and such, but otherwise seems in good shape. As far as I know it's from about '90 - '92.
How good a bike is this?
Here are the spec's ... any information is greatly appreciated ...
