This bike is ready for murder... wheel set and chain came off my Shasta which used these through all of last winter and with the IGH drive the chain is still showing no measureable wear, and with regular cleaning and oiling did not get a speck of rust. An internal gear hub is a wonderful thing as they are impervious and drive life is greatly extended.

Frame is pretty much new old stock, am running quality brakes and have made sure all the bushings are well greased to prevent seizing, and the bike received a coat of wax and framesaver.



I expect this bike to last me many many years and cannot stress how much the full coverage fenders help keep the bike clean in the sloppiest conditions.
