YEP Ol' School mountain bikes make killer commuters !check out the long stays and stretched out front fork on this oldie! i slapped a set of Forte 26x1.25 slicks on the vintage Ayara wheels and a Topeak rack with slide in bag with built in panniers, i got rid of a HEAVY 2010 GT Traffic that i had been commuting on to purchase a vintage roadbike i had been wanting , so the old Sawtooth sitting in the back of the garage was put back into action!
