remained outstanding write something on the MTB, it is true that there is the type of bike but I like and that's why I call them by their initials instead of saying Montain bike or mountain bike.
really what I dislike about this type of bike is that at some point in their history were imposed for all bicycle, classic bicycles banishing the streets. Nor am I against the sport of mountain biking, just do not like the anxiety to buy the latest components and the idea that something from one year to another and does not work.
A little history on my way
On the Internet there is much written about the history of the MTB if someone wants to report.
In the USA a group of young people decide to use classic bikes the 50's, cruiser type to jump on the mountains and race. these bikes were heavy, had pedal brake and 26 inch wheels, a perfect bike for the goat.
With the rise of the sport began to develop the machines and some brands saw a chance to open gap in the market for this type of manufacturing bicycles, displacing campanoglo. Here
began to introduce a time when the bike was in the doldrums, in the department stores sold a cheap MTB and everyone wanted one. Thus he became a bicycle for all, not only to jump off the mountain but to go through the city, the people or for children to play. It's like the SUVs in the city, do not understand. How
end up buying a MTB?
used in my old Orbea Zaragoza Bakio but I was very sorry to spoil and started thinking about a bike that hold up well and did not have a sentimental attachment to me.
Then it was rare to see a bicycle in a store that was not for sports, but one I found this bike, all chrome, metal and had carried the fenders front and rear lights, was actually a disguised MTB city bike, the brand Megaman was that no longer exists, and it had a sticker made clear "CITY BIKE.
For years the lead for urban use, hiking and traveling on vacation. I was breaking parts and change, the original bike is nothing but the picture, if asked to buy something new was silver.
The accident
With this bike I had an accident that led me to the hospital, so I have not changed the handlebar changes or the bell is broken, bear the marks of the accident and remind me that life is fragile but you have to keep pedaling.
Recent changes
the people already living in this bike just use it, so I decided to put something on a whim, so it takes a few fists moto style.
My partner gave me this piece of cruiser style saddle with skulls, skulls and I love the saddle is super comfortable. When it debuts seemed to pierced the wheel.
I put a bullet headlamp, battery goes but looks old. Now made even LEDs.
Well, I hope you enjoy the pictures and remember the important thing is not that kind of bike we have, but we bike.
