found my first mountain bike

[oldcruiser26]

Found this at the local recycle center 1985 Sekai Mountaneer

It is the first production mountain bike I ever owned Given to me for Xmas at age 13 Not a quality bike by any means but it is the beginning of my love of mountain bikes Very few of them around still because sekai bikes only lasted a few years and not many were sold Here's a shot of me riding it at age 14

Going to restore back to new Good thing is It is the same bike I had as a kid But this one is in my size now I have a pair of bull moose bars like the ones I had as kid to replace what's on it now and I also have a white seat The original crank and wheels will have to be found though Basic SR double and steel wheels shouldn't be hard to find

Not many get to do what you are about to embark on, restoring a bike that you still have from your younger days.

Do you have all the parts for it or was it just the frame..?
