This bike has been tuned and fully overhauled right down to re-greasing and packing of the bearings (hubs, bottom bracket and headset) by a shop mechanic with many years of experience. The bike has also been given a thorough 83 point inspection by the owner of this bicycle shop. The owner rides the bicycle in every gear checking steering, braking, and shifting.
