Hard tail MTB. Rigid. Has original handlebars. Brakes well and shifts smooth. One click and the gears change.
I set it up with some Maxxis DTH tires that are just big enough for the bike. Clearance is about 2 in the front could have a bigger tire in the back. Hubs are smooth and the ride is comfortable especially with the Maxxis tires that roll over any cracks and give you a fighting chance against potholes. Some knobby tires shift down to a low gear and you’d be setup for gravel and fire trails. I rode it around the Albany Bulb that was a lot of fun. This bike would make a solid commuter for the east bay or for any Berkeley students coming to the bay. Has attachments for bottle cages and you could throw some racks on it.
It has a sick 1x setup. 1 x 7 to be exact.
Has enough gears to get you up inclines.
Bike frame size is a medium. I’ll post accurate measurements soon. I’m 5ft 8 and have let friends ride it that range from my height to 5ft 10
Greased and components aren’t seized.
Selling because I need to make space in my bike quiver. Classic N+1 story. Bike is fun. Message me with your number to text and we can figure out a showing or when and where to meet. I’m in Oakland and don’t drive (all bike) so anywhere near a BART station or around Berkeley, North Oakland Temescal Downtown is cool. Even SF.
I just uploaded a rudimentary graph including measurements of the frame in centimeters. Center BB to end of top tube is 49CM. Handlebars rise and seat post extends so it can accommodate a medium person. Has some BMX vibes as GT is known for.
