Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type: 
Hybrid Bike
Serial No.: 
102013530 WTO103
Size: 
26"
Color: 
Purple-blue
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features: 
Good condition.  It has front and rear disc brakes.  3 gears on the front, 8 on the back.  I added a rear rack that needed to be cut to fit around the rear disc brakes.  There's a hole drilled in the bottom of the bottom bracket.  It is in generally good shape.  Believe it or not, there was a U-lock strapped to the rear rack, but my U-lock was rusted shut, so I was using a cable lock temporarily.  That was a mistake.
