BIKE CONDITION
The bicycle is in good overall condition and free of bends, cracks and corrosion. The Kool Lemon paint still has a good luster but also has many marks and scratches to be found throughout the bicycle – please reference the pictures for the condition of the paint. The bicycle has had some parts replaced including the tires and bar tape (replaced with original tape) and possibly the saddle but otherwise appears original.
This bicycle has been fully tuned by a shop mechanic with many years of experience. Then the bicycle was given a thorough eighty three point inspection by the owner. Finally the owner rides the bicycle checking steering, braking and shifting. After you receive this bicycle minimal adjustments and assembly will be needed to be ready to ride.
This bicycle is being sold as is, please see photographs for details.
