Mountain Bike

Grey/Silver
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
The bike is about 10 years old but well maintained. It has a specialized "body geometry" seat with red on the bottom. It has gray handle bar extensions, a kick stand and a rear rack. The gear shifts do not match the handle part because they were replaced several years ago. The rear tire is much newer then the front tire (I bought it a few weeks before my bike was stolen).
