I bought one of these a few years ago for $25 from some rich kid who wanted something fancy. I have used it as my burning man bike for 5 trips to the desert and it is my go too bike for riding around the neighborhood. It has morphed frequently as my tastes have changed at one time having fenders, then a huge sissy bar and ape hanger bars. I have changed to Sunrace friction thumbies which I love and which never go out of adjustment. other then changing out the rear derailleur to a Deore long cage I haven't had to do amything other than regrease the bearings every few years( Burningman eats bearings). I have street tires on it and front and rear racks plus Rocky, my stuffed racoon riding on the front rack. I am a happy chappie.
