No. It's a $400 charge if the bike disapears.

That sure is an incentive to lock it up after each ride and then return it when the semester ends.

Definitely put smoother, thinner tires on that GT and lock out (or at least tighten up) the fork damper and it won’t rise so ‘big’. I love commuter/grocery getter mtbs set up like this.

I'm still trying to sell the GT locally. Dick's Sporting Goods has it for $429.99, and I'm asking $250.

The bike will be very cool, a very good choice, I don’t know why she didn’t like it. In my day they gave me the cheapest, but he went, and I was awesome how glad
