Name/Model of Bike: Gary Fisher "Wahoo" probably early to mid 90's. It now has swept bars and studded tires, but is otherwise pretty much un-molested. A boring bike but a good winter work horse. The frame is arguably too tall for mountain bike use, but just fine for streets.



Price: Around $250 IIRC, a close-out at the LBS, possibly a few years old when I got it, but new. Add the cost of two Nokian 160's. The rack and basket are recycled.

Weight: 39 pounds. I wonder why it's heavier than the Schwinn, when it's a more modern bike.

Distance & Terrain: See above.

Purchase Info:
Madison WI

Other:
I thought that this bike might serve as a modern replacement for the Schwinn, but though it seemed OK during the test ride, it proved to be uncomfortable as hell, and I hung it up in the garage for upwards of 12 years. This winter I decided to deal with the handlebar issue (see above) and use it as a winter bike.
