This bike was my intro into bike tinkering. Bought it last summer because I wanted to get back into mountain biking and rode it hard. It needed some work, and I was wanting to give single speed a try so it ended up like you see it here. Unfortunately, the frame wasn't a good fit for me and got pretty uncomfortable after several miles. I gave it to a friend of mine that's a poor college student and he's having a ton of fun on it.
