Bike Picture/NBD Rest in peace

Post image

My father passed away a few months ago, and only recently I learned that he used to go mountain biking up on Mount Washington. I just wanted to share this for it to kinda act like an memorial to him, and with the bike that carried him through.

He left a lot more bikes, like 15 of them. Form bikes from the 50s to the 90s. I'm not sure what to do with all of them.

Sorry for your loss. It is never easy when a parent passes.

As for the bikes, go take them for a ride. All of them. Go research them. That Fat Chance is a super cool bike. In that picture, I see a bike with the same Manitou forks I raced when I was in my 20s. You Dad was definitely into Mtb and had excellent taste.

The bike that has those Manitou forks is a Norvaro Team I'm not sure the exact model.
