Crescent Action 15

Crescent Action 15 - excellent off road machine

coping with winter extremes

back home in the bike shed

This old school Swedish bike is one of the early MTBs produced by Crescent in the late 80s or possibly early 1990s.  As you might expect, its heavy steel frame makes it a sturdy machine.  I love the old style chrome mudguards (my first proper bike as a kid was a red Raleigh Chopper) which have a nostalgic feel.  The Action 15 has, as you might expect, 15 gears which places this model as high in its range - there was also an Action 5, possibly an Action 10 but I have never seen the latter and a Crescent Action 18.  The bike pictured feels very solid to ride and almost indestructible.  You get the feeling this is one bike that can run and run - only the tyres and brake pads will ever need changing.  It is difficult to find a clear pic of this bike online so I thought it time that the Crescent Action 15 was awarded its own special page.  Hope you like it too!
