Beautiful Metallic Blue Custom All Terrain Bike (ATB) - 26" - Awesome!
I have been building bikes since I was a child... I am now 50. I worked as a Bicycle Tech for Sears, among other things, and have built and/or repaired thousands of bicycles. These are my credentials as a Bike Builder and Tech. I built this bike especially for me and my circumstances. I had 2 major back surgeries in the past 2 1/2 years. I have 3 fusions along my lumbar spine, so I'm quite a bit stiff, like the Tim Man, so I have to use the Frame of a Ladies bike without the top bar so it's easier for me to get my leg over. Think about this if you have similar difficulties. I built the bike with high hopes and something of an incentive to heal. Alas, it is highly recommended that I refrain from bicycle riding for the long term, maybe forever.
I believe the photos show the bike to be very attractive, with fine lines, and sportiness. The bike is finely tuned and completely functional with 18 Shimano gears and lightweight aluminum center pull brakes with excellent brake shoes. The paint is very nice with a shiny dark metallic blue and very few blemishes... no silly decals... handlebars have the matching color. The front forks are shock absorbing piston type.
The Whitewall Tires, like new with lots of grip and comfortable ride, are mounted to lightweight aluminum rims. The front rim has a Quick Release Axle to allow you to take the front wheel off with ease. The bike comes with a standard, yet better than average, somewhat comfortable, mountain bike seat. I have found that Seats are rather a matter of an individuals specific tastes and comfort... there are thousands of different designs and levels of comfort... like shoes. The seat height is adjustable by way of a Quick Release mechanism.
The left front derailer cable jacket is a bit damaged, cosmetically speaking, but does not effect functionality. I never got around to changing it... and since I can't ride it anyway... I'll leave it up to the next owner whether they care about it or not. The bike has a full set of standard safety reflectors front and rear. It has a kickstand with a black finish and black plastic foot cover so as to not scratch your deck or floor. It also comes with a locking cable for security. It has mounting holes and locking hex screws for mounting an optional water bottle and bracket.
If you want a nice machine that's different from the Walmart specials... this is It. It will give you the ease of transport and functionality of bikes that cost a whole lot more... but for a whole lot less.
Questions are enthusiastically welcome. I will have more and better pics available as soon as I get a new camera... any minute now.
Serious Inquiries Only.
