No the bike was steel. I learned after I'd gotten rid of the bike that I could have had it welded by the factory. Huh, the things we learn. I used the heck out of that bike. I commuted everyday for a year on that bike, through snow and rain, and began training for a tour on it. It is the bike that I started riding on and thought it would actually be possible to tour on a bike.
there is one more bike that I have toured on that was a Gary Fisher Sphinx, that was just a bit small for me. I sold it to a friend who'd had her commuter stolen out of her mother's car. I'll try to find a pic of it loaded.
