Welcome to the Bike Forums, one of my favorite web resources.

I am old with a shot memory, I think, I can't remember. What I do recall that the ride quality was very good, the bike weighed about 24 pounds and it stopped just great. Other than that, any other details elude me. If the one you are looking at has the canti brakes and the seller wants $200.00, shut off the computer and go get the bike. That said, make sure it is a good fit for you. My very general rule of thumb fit is to straddle the bike and then gauge the distance between the top tube and snug to your crotch. A little too big is better than a little too small. I say that last bit because I do not know you or what your riding skill level is. Too big can allow a few options for a decent fit. Too small, forget about it in my opinion. Good luck.
