 ===== 1980 3 Bar 26=====
-A transitional, converted BMX, reminiscent of the [[lawwill:start|Lawwill-Knight Pro Cruiser]].  Just before the 1982 Asian tsunami of cheaper MTBs, shops would convert BMX bikes and sell them for less than the hand made MTBs.  Only [[murray:start|Murray]] and [[sears:start|Sears]] sold cheap MTBs before [[special:start|November 1981]].  This bike has a Sunshine Cyclery Fairfax decal, from the bike shop currently across from the [[https://mmbhof.org/|Marin Museum of Bicycling]] and 300' next to where the [[people:repack|Repack]] trail eventually dumps you out into town.  Meaning, this bike weas built for Repack, and likely rode down it as well.  Just not up, given it's gearing.
