Distinguishing features
The handlebars are "antler" shaped, and the black rubber padding on each side of the handlebars is worn-through on the curved sections of each side of the handlebars, more so on the right side than on the left. The pedals have standard, black, over-the-shoe type toe clips. Above the rear tire is a flat black rack (I do not remember the brand name), which is attached near the rear axle on one side with a nut and bolt, and on the other side with thick wire. The original shifter mechanism on the right side of the handlebars (for the rear wheel/derailleur) had broken a few years ago, so I had functionally replaced it with an additional shifter that is mounted on the TOP of the right side of the handlebars (both the left and right original shifters are combined with the brake handles, and are mounted below the handlebars). The bicycle has a shock absorber above the front wheel only. Both tires are "Schwalbe Marathon Plus" brand, and are narrower "street" tires, instead of thick knobby tires. Mounted on the seatpost below the seat is a mount for my Cateye taillight. Also, there is a thin cable lock that secures the saddle to the bike frame. The seatpost is a quick-release type. When pedaling this bike, the sealed bottom bracket makes an audible noise which might make one think that there is something mechanically wrong with it, but it operates fine.
