It was a kick-ass commuter till it got STOLEN. Fast forward a year and I saw it being ridden around! He had bought it from a really sketchy bike store. They took off all the fenders, racks, baskets, and ONE shifter.
Wait, you missed a step. How did you get it back? Did you buy it back, did he give it to you? Enquiring minds want to know!

Nice bikes, both of them.

Also, I feel you about MultiTracks; I just acquired a '94 750, and love how it rides, despite the too long cockpit and trashed wheels. I didn't think I'd like 700c wheels after tasting the joys of 26" (I'm short), but there's very little toeverlap, and there won't be any once I put on a 160 crank.
