I bought this bike new in '91 and it has basically sat since about 1995. I decided to turn it into a boardwalk bomber and stripped off all the old paint and clearcoated the bare aluminum. True to bomber form, I threw on some Bontrager fat slicks, some Nitto old school bars and got rid of all the excess shifet mechanisms. Because the frame has vertical dropouts, I determined the "magic gear" of 38/18 that would allow me to run w/o an ugly chain tensioner and still pedal easily. This has become my favorite cruiser...it rolls over everything and is light to boot!
