Mountain Bike

typical MTN bike

Matte black with blue decals w.white trim
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features: 
Bike is old but in good condition. Has Oakley grips with inner thumb guards chopped off so they don't interfere with shifters. Has an Apple logo sticker under the bottom bracket. Kryptonite lock rack on the vertical tube underneath the seat post. Rock Shox have some black marker written on the tops of them. Water bottle cage on the downtube. Hybrid tires (Knobbies on outside, smooth/street on the inside— they look like really worn down knobbies). Tioga headset, some Shimano components. Pedals are SPD clipless. I searched the internet for similar models for sale and there's exactly 1, in LA, so if anyone sees it in Chicago, it's probably the one I'm looking for.
