It has a 7-speed cassette.

I only test rode it in a parking lot. It seemed to offer a nice solid and stable ride.



More pictures here.

I bought the bike for the parts. I hope I don't fall in love with the frame. It does happen to fit me perfectly. I mean, I didn't even have to move the seat. It's at the perfect height for me.

And the seat is a nice surprise. My doctor prescribed one of these cutout seats for me. I have to take pressure off my perineum. And I have to talk about my tush to satisfy RFC's image of me.
I say fix it up and use it in place of the bike you lost.
