Picked this bike up on ebay a few years back. When I opened the box up I almost drug it out to the curb. It was that bad ! I didn't even think it was the bike I bid on. It was completely covered in red southern clay. I decided to wash it, disassemble it and clean every component in the parts washer. Believe it or not I think all the clay helped preserve all the components as they were barely even scratched.... everything was like new once cleaned.
I changed a few parts out and made it an 8 speed.....
