Mine was one of these:
Wish I still had it.
Found it without an engine. Stuck the slant 4 in it, instead of the V4.
It had a freewheeling transmission.
Best. Snow. Car. Ever.
It rusted out in the wheel wells at the transaxle.
Still heartbroken.
Snabb, you.
But of course, Turfy!!!! What ARE you thinking??
so I been looking at some bikes lately and today I pulled the trigger on this one, guy at the shop said they only had three left in stock in my size when he talked to them on Weds.... they were closed today so I won't know until Mon. if I got in on time to snag this beauty. Already paid for it and if all goes well this should be my new ride by next Thurs. or Fri. it's a different kind of machine, named a CXGR...I'm guessing that stands for cross country / gravel bike, it should be by all accounts very versatile for my greenway rides and also good for some gravel rides on the rails to trails pathways that are available locally. can't wait to get on this thing and burn some watts
for that kinda money... a better choice... imho...

Beautiful bike, but speaking of watts...
Fasttech has a 1000mah battery/generator with usb, perfect for a pass through!

Watt the heck is THAT!?
A generator, or dynamo. Traditionally used to power lights, the clamp on ones were common in the past, using tire friction to spin them. Ones built into the hub were common as well and both are still in use. The FT one isn't designed as part of a lighting system and has a built in battery and usb, handy for many things!

I was kidding but after thinking about it, pretty handy if one has no power and little sunlight...
Like those 2.5's, some of us may want one in every color!

I rode with a dynamo light in my youth, it would wear the tire at the point it engaged the wheel, it did give enough light to see where you were going , until you stoppedBeautiful bike, but speaking of watts...

One night I was riding with a friend back in NH, and I ran into a bat, it's warm wings wrapped around my face at impact and I locked up the brakes and stopped, startled and suddenly in the very dark of night...

Those are pretty cool, I had come across a vid demo'ing the off road model a while back. All are a bit over my price range...
