Purchased this bike at a bike shop closure auction as a kid. This is the bike that really got me into cycling and helped me master the wheelie. It's a bit too small for me now but has too much sentimental value to sell, so I've converted it to SS, reserving it for snowy commuting.

As much sentimental value that this has with me, I have finally accepted that it's just way to darn small for me. It was time for it to go. I really hope I come across another down the road in my size.

Ahaha, yeah! I needed the longest post I could find to get this bike to fit again. Glad you dig it! It definitely aids to the joy of winter commuting.

Haha, naw.. I just way outgrew this bike. At 190cm (I guess to some, that may be a considered gigantic :P), a medium frame no longer fits me like it did when I purchased it.
