Crescent Action 18



The Crescent Action 18 was the top of the range of Action MTBs produced by the Swedish giant of cycle manufacture.  I have never seen one in the 'flesh' but found this one pic online and wanted to show it before it gets taken down and disappears.  Crescent Actions are fairly rare to see, and though not very valuable they represent a quality and style that still stand out today.  Hard to say if this Action is of the same generation as my Action 15 as the paint job and parts are a bit different, such as the chain guard.  This one has clearly seen better days too.  But they were built like tanks - designed to crush rocks rather than ride above them.  I love them.  More to follow...
