Passed on to someone else. Was my first build. Good bike for a beater!
My cheap round-town bike. Was a junker on CL, got it for cheap, took it apart, and built it back up. Got tired of the crappy SRX shifting, so I made it a single speed - Surly Singleator knockoff, old 15t cog, and aluminum spacers. Rides great, and is a lot of fun. It's a pretty light bike, even with the crap components. First bike I've built up myself. It's a beater, but no one will steal it, right? ;)
It's a little small for me (I'm 6'4"), but it feels really quick and fun. It's like riding a BMX bike when I was a kid.
