Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Mountain Bike
Size:
17 or 19", I forget
Color:
Gold
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
The grips on the handles (were at least) sticky because they were wearing down. I took the seat off and brought it with me (ironically) so it wouldn't get stolen, but I imagine whomever stole it has gotten a new seat. It is a gold schwinn Frontier, not much else to say. 21 gears. This is an older model (when they were still good), 1998 I believe.
