This used to be my older brother's daily commute to his high school, 19 years ago, but once he got a car he never rode it again. It became mine afterwards, but was never ridden until 2010. It was unfortunately neglected enduring rain, snow, or sun for 10+ years.

Current Stage Info:
I was completely satisfied with how the bike rode and looked. Rode it almost everyday for my final year of college '11. Transferred everything on it over to the Diamondback I had Summer '12.

I feel ya. Did you manage to get 700 wheels in there? I think it's be cool to try a 650b conversion on this thing!

I do have some 700 wheels but the thing is they're not a set LOL. This build was meant to be very cheap so half of my parts came from a flea market.
