Complete and ready to ride!
Hoods and tape cost me $32 with shipping, so that's how much I'm into this one for.




I put 47 kilometers on it yesterday. The ride quality was impressive. A middle-of-the-line bike with butted cro-mo main tubes and high-ten fork; it was comfortable, responsive, and predictable.
The tires, marked "27x1," measure at 23mm wide. It's been at least two decades since I rode on tires this narrow. They made me a little nervous when riding pavement with wide cracks in it and, pumped up to 80 pounds to avoid pinch flats, a bit uncomfortable on the gravel portion of the ride, but they handled the packed gravel/dirt just fine.
