Public R16 At The Thrift
 

Rarely come on here and rarely find bikes anymore but I thought this was a good buy. It won't be for me, Not exactly sure on the model.

With that sticker on the inside of the left crank arm, I assume that it is brand new, or almost so.

An quick internet search found this:

Leather straps on the toe clips, I am guessing friction bar end shifters, square taper crank, that might have been in storage for a long time before it was donated.

it's an r 16 and that link is for an older bike this is 2023. anyway

Not really a touring bike but it is a bike and if gotten cheap at a thrift store could be a starter bike for someone. Certainly doesn't look heavily abused which is good.

And yes it is a commuter.......very light touring.....the bike can accommodate weight. Bikes are hard to find on the fly anymore and without crazy pricing so......the bike would not work for me.....

no wear on the chainrings, the stupid reflectors are still on the spokes, no scratches from straps rubbing on the crankarms.

other than a test ride or two, that bikes never been on the road.

I don't see a link to the thrift store where the bike was/is. Failing that:

Price? Location?
