Re: 80's Paint....
Dang it, I missed the bike and the ad is dead, what was it?
My daughter's next mountain bike when she outgrows her A2Z Cuda is a 1988 Easton Reflex ALX99, it has blues anodized Easton E9 main tubes with metal flake pink lugged Ishiwata EX steel stays and fork. The bike is amazing! I dreamed of a high end full XT bike when I was racing juniors in high school instead of the second (or third) hand bikes I could afford on my sandwich boy job at the italian deli. I did buy road and mountain racing bikes the next year in 1989 when I blew my whole college savings on bikes. Ha- that one nearly got me kicked out of the house, though I didn't have much longer before she did boot my ass out!
There's a nice one that happens to be Derek's size in SLC on Craigslist:

It's a MOMBAT bike, check it out:

Recall the mountain bikes in the 1980's went the same way all the big hair metal music... pink, orange, or electric green, and all those great ones like zebra, splatter, "lightning" crackle. GT was the worst (or champion if that was your thing) of all the majors, they had a model in every finish I listed above. Just like high end or signature model Kramer and Ibanez electric guitars and all those silly hair videos, you couldn't get away that mess! I'm just glad the pastel colors of Crocket and Tubbs never took hold, how would that be trying to rock a peach and powder blue mountain bike! Besides, don't even get me going about fanny packs... bastards!!!
