It's Ok - I call it "Tank" cause it's a heavy duty bike - it's a folding bike - supposedly paratroopers used them extensively in Afghanistan ...

I have SPD's on it now - the peddles are actually extra wide and unbelievably heavy. I'm going for another mtb to play with and am going to swap the peddles back.

Actually won this from a cigarette company - Newport people kept sending my Mom stuff - and on it was a contest - Think this was the 2nd prize. Totally forgot about it - till I came home (probably 6-8 months after entering) and found a big box on the porch. SAWEET!

I'm going to keep this for my commute bike - and to go play with in the winter - had it three years and have beat the snot outta it - plus winter beats a bike up - replaced total brakes, rebuilt back hub, replaced bearings in crank - this year alone. I'm a commuter, but am also an urban mtb so stairs, concrete play areas, construction sites and parking garages suffice the habit till I get out into the sticks - or go hit a big course a couple towns out.
