Classic do-it-all mountain bike. Best for 5’1”-5’7” riders.  Light and indestructible CroMoly steel frame in stunning cranberry purple, 21-speed Shimano GS drivetrain, Shimano Biopace chainrings (not round, super cool!), 26”x1.95” all original all terrain tires. I took a liberty to accentuate bright yellow logo on the frame with yellow saddle, pedals, handlebar grips, and cable housings.

This is Kathleen’s bike now.
