Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Hybrid Bike
Size:
Medium
Color:
Blue and Grey
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
This bike is a few years old. Bought used. It has thick smooth black tires and some minor scratches on the metal frame but it's in great condition for riding. Multiple gears on the handlebars (clicking style). Black handlebars. It has a wide cushioned black seat that the previous owner used staples to keep together on one side of it from wear, but that doesn't get in the way of riding. This seat will really tell you that it was my bike. When it was stolen I also had a small black storage packet under the seat that you can zip up. I left a restaurant business card in there if the thief didn't remove it.
