These pictures make the bike look way more yellow than it really is. In reality it's a Tang-reminiscent orange (like Orangebiiiiike). Seriously. Very visible and also the drink of ASTRONAUTS! This bike makes all those Trek 1200s look like a herd of Mormon kids waiting at the bus stop.
THIS BIKE IS FOR SALE! Contact me for more information!
