Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Road Bike
Size:
26"
Color:
Yellow with turquoise blue and white tires.
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
The bike is in excellent condition. It is a yellow beach cruiser with flowers painted on it. It was upgraded with a wicker basket, vintage telephone bell, and a cup holder. My little yorkie liked to ride around Lakeview/boystown in the basket. It would mean so much to find it again as it is no longer sold in stores.
