Other then being a rolling punn for Marin county , this Was, and still sometimes is my school and work commuter. i put well over 100 happy miles on it so far and like always I GOT IT USED! It's a 57cm Marin larkspur hybrid bicycle with 700c wheels, and flat bars. The shifter for this bike's whole life has been this shimano Acera, and I am officially impressed, the shifting has never had any problem at all! (a first for me)The Non- stock part is the electric drive system. This bicycle had it's original suspension forks swooped out for stiff chrome ones so it could accept the massive 250w front hub motor witch is more then 15lbs alone, Powering it is a 37v 10amh lithium polymer battery witch once gave me almost 30 miles, however it's don't to 20 now. This bike cruises at 20mph, awesome for a bike, and i can push it to 25mph, any faster the bike needs to be off... i had a rather bad crash in witch the front alexrim (shitty) was tacoed, i rebuilt it with a stronger weinmann rim. The nex step for me in electric bikes will have to be Bionx. although with a new battery, this ride will keep on truckin' for years to come...
