I use this bike to get around just about everywhere. It’s my daily commuter through all seasons in Colorado. It’s a blast to ride on pavement and on light gravel. I took these pictures on my way back home from the library.
The cost wasn’t important to me as this was a vanity project I built up over the last 6 or so months. It was a ton of fun, and now it’s time to start my next project!
Edited for clarity/formatting.
