I just got this from a customer who is in his early 70's and wanted something lighter.
It's got about 6,000 (really) miles on it and mostly good shape other than the wheel bearing cones.
I bought some tools and new cones and went to work on it.
The tires are the original tires off my Roam3 , I transferred my running goodies to it ( pump,bottle cages,pedals)
and it rides great.


The bars didn't work for me so I installed trekking bars , the saddle was hosed so I grabbed a bontrager saddle from my local LBS used bin.
So far so good , I really like the ride , the frame is quite flexible compared to the roam3 , but is smoother overall.
My customer was going to donate the bike , so I got him to donate it to me .....
The frame is a 58CM-23" and the standover is 32.5" , I can still straddle it at 5'6" (long legs) so I lucked out there too.
