Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Cruiser / Comfort Bike
Serial No.:
LOE30502663
Color:
Teal/Brown
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
Bike is teal with brown fenders. Pale pink flowers painted on sides of frames and back fender. There is a surfboard painted on the seat post. My co-worker's seat was also taken as my seat was inside the store. Her seat was a black gel seat more suited to a mountain bike than to a cruiser. The post was much thinner, so if the bike is locked up it is either without a seat or has a very ill-fitting seat that can be easily removed. There is also a headlight bracket on the handlebars.
