About ~4ish months and many falls ago I came to be the rescuer of my first bike since I started tying my own shoes. I don't know much but apparently this is a pretty good find for what I paid for it. Also with the exception of lights, a new seat, and needing to tune the screws/position of the front derailer and removing the toe clips the bike is in the exact same condition as when I walked out of the thrift store with it. Whoever had it before me had respect for this thing.

According to the forum search function and a once-over when the local bike shop set up a tent at my apt complex it's what it says on the tin, a Kuwahara Aries:



Personally I'm going to strap one of these sunlite racks on the back and turn it into my cross-campus bike. The only downside I can think of is that I'm pretty sure it's incompatible with any form of front suspension, which would be nice to help with the potholes down here.
