A 1993 Rascal that rides like a
dream. It
doesn't ride any better
than the Attitudes but my first impression of riding this bike was how
good the handling and ride were. Oh, it might have had
something
to do with riding a low-end bike all winter and taking this out on a
nice spring day time riding a nice bike for the first time of the
year.
It was like a new world opened up as it
almost seemed as if I had forgotten how great a bike can be.
The
Rascal is the same as the Attitudes from behind the headset.
Instead of using an oversized 1 9/16" pressed-in headset, this uses a
standard 1" headset.
There is going to be some parts replaced on this one. The
current
fork is a 1" threadless Judy, but I have a purple Klein
rigid fork and might paint a Klein Mission Control stem to match the
three color fade. It has V-brakes installed (hence the rings
that
hold the
cable currently routed externally). Might try a V-brake
adapter
with this and see how they work or might go to cantilevers.
Either way, the cabling is going to be internally routed. So
there will be some changes on this one and new pictures will be up in a
few weeks.
