Notes:

Blurry photos are blurry; I apologize for my computer's inadequate camera.

Dis my campus bike. Under my ownership since July 09, it's progressed through fixed, 12 speed, and single speed drivetrains; now back to 12 speed. It's a heavy lil guy, specially with a U-lock on the frame. Nice enough to cruise around on, but beater enough to ride through foot-deep puddles!

Sold

Hella sold.
