Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Road Bike
Color:
White, but if striped of paint, the bike is mostly yellow
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
The bicycle is only a few years old and I kept it in good condition. It has a dent in the top tube and black tape on the front fork in two stripes like how athletic socks have. It has black plastic fenders with some Hi-Vis tape on the back seat stays and to the fender, to prevent getting hit at night. There is a black and white sticker on it that says "I <3 Outer Rim." The grip tape on the handlebars is black, but it was coming off so there is a small piece of orange electrical tape on it to prevent further peeling.
