Strong. Light. Cheap. Pick Two. A classic Keith Bontrager advertising quote. This is a great survivor bike, fully matching the original 1996 catalog spec except the tires (which are at least period-correct). This bike has definitely had some fun out on the trails over the years, and wears a few battle scars; most notably a small dent on the non-driveside seatstay (see attached image).
