Frame, fork, headset, and stickers from Velospace's own MuckyMucky. Total cost for this build was under $ 300. Set up as a townie with rear fender and basket/rack as well as a roadie-style with clipless pedals, front/rear brakes, and ergo ITM bars.
Goodbye, Charlie. You were a noble steed who kept up with bikes costing so much more. You treated me nicely no matter what; rain, intense heat, crappy parts, and I returned the favor as best as I could. Even though you were a size too big, it's too bad I had to sell you and I regret every second of it.
Sold to fund my CAAD 7.
