The Vagabond is an early mass produced mountain bicycle that was probably sold through a department store chain. Entry level, ordinary tubing with pressed drops and entry level componentry, help to define the bicycle's quality level. All that said...
The bike will be fun to ride but will not offer stunning ride quality. And, for what it is worth, Bicycles for Humanity has at least a dozen Vagabond mountain and road bikes at the moment. But that moment will come to an end on Oct 20th when we send shipment #11 to Africa.
In closing I add this - they are darn near bomb, bullet and kid proof:-)
