Eye strain


Now this is a bike you definately will be able to spot in a crowd. It was sold by Target as a Messoni what ever that means.
When we received it all we got was the frame and fork plus an atached full chain case in the same pattern, unused, with the sales stickers still attached.
that chain case was just too much so it had to go. I will probably use it somewhwer else, maybe with an all black frame.

The bike was originally a single speed. The only700c rear wheel I could find with a coaster brake was 1.5 Inch wide so that was installed using a 700 x 40 street tire with a reflective stripe . The front wheel is narrower and got a 700 x 25 white tire.

Up front there is a 1" threaded to threadless adapter and a threadless stem mounting some white 2" riser bars.

A new chain, pedals and drive train with a 44 tooth chainring and 22 tooth rear cog should make for efortless cruising .

This is basically a new bike . Frame/fork, stem, bars, grips, rear wheel , chain are all new and the tires and saddle are "good as".
It will be interesting to see if it sells quickly or not.
