This bike was bought brand-new in 1993. He rode it as a commuter and kept it mechanically and cosmetically noise. It relaxed for a number of years when I happened to be on a cross country trip in a sprinter van last August at which time the bike was provided me, I put a battery in it, cleaned the carbohydrates, altered the oil, and changed the fork seals and wipers. Given that then I've put 200 miles on it approximately running errands.
