Holy chromoly, that is lovely! Looks like it has classic geometry: quite long chain stays, high bottom bracket, slack seat tube and steepish steerer. Would love to swing a leg over this, especially as it´s the right size, but unfortunately not in the budget. So I can only ask: how does it ride?

Thanks, @marco1269

@yo_felix: It is very, very lovely. A classic early MTB with all the right specs, in my opinion. It is fast on the straights, goes well around the corners and is, in todays standard, more of a cruiser that an aggressive MTB. It's like a classic Jaguar E-type, maybe. A looker and a great one for all the right occasions.

Really cool bike @haaland !

I figured it was more meant for going places than winning races. Very apt E Type analogy! Anyway, I hope it finds a good new home
Cheers
Felix

Just like the E-type, the Sherpa was super fast back in the days. Nowadays we know that speed isn't everything - going somewhere in style is more important
