Notes:

Got the saddle from an old department store road bike with Dodge Viper branding all over it, and the over-the-top colors fit too well to pass up. Dremeled out the clamp diameter of an old MTB brake lever to fit the bars, hooked it up to a parts bin side-pull caliper. Michelin Lition tires.

Don't worry, it's my joke bike.
