Classic do-it-all mountain bike i restored into a comfortable and very capable city bike, best for 5’10”-6’5” riders. Lightweight (28lbs) and indestructible CroMoly steel frame, 21-speed Shimano Biopace drivetrain (not rounded chainrings), beautiful white paint with two shades of blue accent, new 26×1,95” city street tires with blue accent that you can ride off-road as well. The swept back North road touring handlebars provides super comfortable upright riding position and contributes to the vintage racer’s appearance.

This is Alex’s bike now.
