Gift

I help a friend in his shop most afternoons. An older gentleman donated 3 really nice bikes. This was one of them. Because it was nice and my size, Adam gave it to me. One heck of a present.
it is a Serotta Colorado.

Really nice free bike. You and Adam must have banked some good Karma. What were the other donated bikes?

I suggest you check that stem height. It looks like it’s at the limit, or even past it.

One of the others was a Specialized mtb setup as a street bike. The other was a 2013 Specialized carbon road bike.

I'll be changing the stem for a taller Nitto Technomic. Just not that flexible anymore.
