White and red with a little black
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features: 
The seatpost is seized if I remember correctly. It looks similar to the one in the picture but the tape is plain black and the tires are regular black. The tires were a continental grand prix 4000 s I believe but not the s ii (the original s has been out of production for a while) and I believe the other was a forte but might have been a Vittoria. One was a 23 and one a 25 but I can't remember which was which. If you find this bike and it has either of these tires I guarantee this is it. There also may or not be a velcro drink holder w a silver inside on the left side of the handlebars. Also I believe the plastic cover on one of the shifters may have been cracked or partially broken off
