So, what exactly is the difference? Besides the foam grips and extension levers. This will be the last of my questions I promise.
The stamped dropouts are a giveaway. Plus the extension levers and lack of tubing decal. And possibly the cottered crank (although it does appear that it may be alloy).
On the other hand, it's not
that bad. It does appear to have alloy wheels, for example. And a sport tourer is a good all-around machine. And because it's not high-end, it's going to be easier to hang onto at school, assuming you use a good quality u-lock and
proper locking technique.
