It LOOKS like essentially new condition!

The narrow 38cm handlebar might be the most unique thing about how it rides. Having your hands so close does affect how you control the bike. It does help you stay a bit more aero, though.

I still have the original stuff, minus the freewheel, so it can be brought back to essentially new condition....
