Some time ago, I picked up an old, worn out 1995 GT Karakoram mountain bike as a project. You see, my very first real upgraded trail-worthy mountain bike when I was a kid in high school, was a purple GT Karakoram. So I fixed it up, tuned it up, replaced the worn and damaged parts, and just donated it to the Ogden Bicycle Collective. Wouldn’t that be something if a young high school student picked up that trusty GT and had the same kind of adventures I did when I was their age?

And then, to take it a step further, why not use my experience and skillset over the last 18 years of wrenching on bikes, to give back to the community? So I began volunteering my time at the Ogden Bicycle Collective.
