More Info:
An old junker found in the dump. 4 bikes where used to get parts to get it into running condition again. Welded on crank arms make redoing the BB bearings impossible. Just like to use it "til" it dies. Makes for a nice travel bike. Can get up to 33 kph in high gear in good conditions. Up-date- After a year of loaning the bike out, it was returned into my fleet of bikes.
