Unfortunately it is a bit of a Frankenbike - it has the FFS system, I don't think it has the Positron shifting system, the bike DOES feel like it weighs about 40lbs, and I think the guy I got it from (before I knew much about it) swapped out the rear wheel with a 6-speed freewheel when he "realized" the rear freewheel was locked and didn't know about the FFS (I need to take the rear wheel off and look, just haven't had time). So I think the bike is missing the fixed rear cogset and basically has 2 freewheels on it.

I was looking for an inexpensive, simple steel bike and I wasn't wanting anything this funky and wasn't wanting to have to put too much extra work into this bike, so I have about decided I don't like it and would be willing to get rid of it. Anybody got anything they wanna trade? If you are interested just let me know - I posted a picture of it a little while ago but can post another one. (If this is against the rules here just let me know and I'll delete this part of this post and re-post in an appropriate area).
