Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Mountain Bike
Size:
26"
Color:
Blue
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
This bike was in used condition, purchased from WorkingBikes. There is a black WorkingBikes sticker on the frame (near the water bottle). This bike also has a Kryptonite EZ-Mount Bracket on it, though no lock.
The bike peddles are plastic and extremely worn. The most distinguishing feature is the fact that the front tube has a normal valve , but the rear tire has a Presta valve with an adapter. Chances are, this bike has a cheap seat on it because the bike was stolen without a seat (I still have the seat in my apartment).
