Light as a feather with just enough suspension to get away with it, this baby wins the argument both up and down the hill.
An ongoing project since 1994, the only original component is the rear brake leaver. A Marin Bear Valley canti leaver pulling a LX V-Brake with custom trimmed booster.
The current setup is for summer night rides.
