It's got horizontal d/o s. Believe me, it took me a while to find an old mountain bike with them, most have verticals. I paid a bit extra at auction, but I sold the other three bikes in the pile this one came in, removed a few parts and wound up getting the frame for free.

Hey, chicks dig a guy on a pink bike. Pink is the new black, very hip, even for us metal heads.

It's still one cool bike.
See above reply. BTW, if anyone's got a pink saddle, I'm up for a trade...

I know. I keep trying to make a bike so ugly they won't want to steal it. I keep failing.

Rode it into work today. Told GF I was gonna take the bus, but I missed it . Oh, well, I'll take the bus back. (They've got bike racks).

This thing gets more bemused comments from motorists than any of my other bikes.
