Bought what was advertised as a Giant (I'm certain it's a Gravity) 6 years ago off of Craigslist for $70. Over the years I've replaced almost everything except the seatpost and cranks. It's a mix of parts bin, Amazon and a few name brand pieces.
The first couple of years I was logging well over 1000 miles a Midwest season on country back roads with no shoulder, chip seal pavement and the occasional horse manure from the Amish. It's done its share of gravel even though it only clears 26's, pulled duty in a sprint triathlon and survived a couple of hard lay downs at speed. Handles 50mph descents like a champ and climbs anything my legs can grind out. But each spring she gets cleaned up, headset and bottom bracket rebuilt, drivetrain lubed and heads out for another season of being the only single on the road in my little section of Centra Ohio.
Short, flat little ride today, but it was the first one of substance this season. 21 miles, 700ft of climb. 50×16
Ride on friends
