Distinguishing features
The frame is a gray Sears likely from the 1980's-90's with red, white and blue stripes running the length of each tube. The original decals are still adorned "Free Spirit" along the top tube and "Ten Speed" along the down tube. The rest of the hardware is black including the seat, crankshaft, pedals, front rack, front brake and both tires. She's been altered to a fixed gear. The front tire rim has a worn to the metal due to the brake waring away the black rim paint. The left pedal has a black foot strap as well. Another unique feature: I had 6 camera screw mounts JB Welded to the bike frame and rack. They stick out. Imagine anyone not know what they're looking at would be bewildered. The frame is riddled with rust spots, but it just adds to the rough and tough mystique of being my all-weather Chicago rider.
