Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Road Bike
Size:
Medium
Color:
Green
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
Very old bike, just two gear settings on each side and they are changed by lifting or pushing a small lever on each side of the bike. The chain is very squeaky, the right brake is fairly worn so it isn't as effective as the left one, and the front tire is slightly bent (you can notice the curvature when you start pedaling). It has a white Eastern Illinois Communal Biking sticker on the frame, as well as a Northern Illinois Bike registry sticker on the frame somewhere, but the EIU one is far more prevalent.
