Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Road Bike
Size:
18" ?
Color:
Blue
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
Bicycle frame is blue and is in decent condition. The bike has front and back lights that would be powered by a small alternator that attaches to the back wheel; however, the alternator is not attached and is at my home. The tires are old and are starting to rot/ fall apart, especially on the back tire. The back tire is also very wobbly due to the slightly bent wheel frame and needs to be fixed/ replaced. Because the back tire wobbles so much, the back brakes were removed temporarily so they would not interfere with the tire as it rotated. I believe the seat is original to the bike and has become tacky through out the years, so it is covered with a white plastic bag.
