Do-it-all indestructible CroMoly steel frame in cool metallic green. Best for 5’11”-6’5″ riders.
This bike is restored as a very capable and comfortable do-it-all urban cruiser that can be used on any road or off-road: 21-speed Shimano Exage 400LX drivetrain with Shimano Megarange cogs for easy climbing, RPM alloy cranks, modern 26″ wheels (Alex Rims 1000), and new urban tires 26×1.95″. Slightly swept back handlebar, UNO suspended seatpost and Specialized Body Geometry leather gel saddle for added comfort.
This is Steve’s bike now.
