Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Mountain Bike
Size:
19?"
Color:
Red
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
It's a beater of a mountain bike, with a gel seat with a tattered cover, glow-in-the-dark handlebar grips and a front wheel that's been painted several different colors. The frame is aluminum or perhaps an alloy - very light. It had a seatpost bag containing hand cream, a clear plastic poncho, chap stick and one of those string backpacks. Bike answers to the name of Fury, which basically describes the only emotion I am currently capable of feeling.
