this is my winter bike! It is a department store Schwinn (6061 aluminum before those bikes became completely worthless, circa early 2000's.) Components are mostly stock (Shimano Atlus, Suntour XCT, etc.. .) although I swapped the springer fork for a steely rigid. Added a rear rack, fenders and mudflats, panniers, and Velociraptor 2.1 tires; she rides nicely through the slop.
