Great condition, have used it throughout the 4 years I've had it pretty gently. I bought in Nashville, it DID have a "Bike East Nashville" bell, but the thief took it off. I have never seen another vivid coral Specialized bike in the wild, so it is VERY distinguishable. The thief tried to sell it on marketplace, but they pulled the listing saying their roommate wanted it. Here is the pulled listing: https://www.facebook.com/share/HEPh1CBxwmMgcAMj/?mibextid=kL3p88 Although cut off, the serial number matches-- they must have registered it within the past two days. I have the receipt and police report (June 26th) to prove it.
