More Info:
Just a cheap bike but it was something I was looking buying new when it was first out. It as nice to bring it back to life again. I readjusted the handle bar forward slightly to fit me a bit better. The ends of the handle bar have been trimmed by 3/4 of an inch on each side to narrow the width a bit. on May 1, 2012.

It is nice to see an old bike like this come back to life. They are not the greatest but they are fun mess around with and ride. As long as you can self maintain a bike, cheap is a way to go when looking at bikes. The from fork was stiff but a I put some liquid wrench down to tubes to free them up. It does not work great but it least it works a bit now.
