Basic Bike Info

Bicycle Type: 
Hybrid Bike
Size: 
medium
Color: 
red
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features: 
It was bought in 1996. It has a "fair trade" sticker on it and a "John Bull Cycles" sticker because it was bought in Christchurch, NZ. It has a blue metal water bottle cage. The bike seat is yellow and black and mostly eaten by squirrels. The right and left handlebar grip don't match. The bike had just gotten a flat tire in the back a few days before that wasn't fixed yet. It had a milk crate attached to the back. It's an aluminium frame. There's a friend of mine across the stree with a red bike with a milk crate. I hope nobody accidentally thinks his bike is mine. Mine has the word "specialized" and the fatter aluminum tubes. Thanks.
