Pictures tonight! She has never seen a trail, the original owner bought her last year and rode her to work when it was warm or nice out. She has some cosmetic scratches to the frame, but the shifting is really smooth and the drivetrain clean. I am still taking her in for a tune up tomorrow. The owner said she had one a couple months ago, but was due.
Now I need to figure out what kind of clipless pedals I want (it has platforms right now).

Okay, here she is. As I said she is pretty entry level, but it will get me out there. I am thinking about picking up some Crank Brother's Candy pedals (Yellow) to put on it. It could probably use a different saddle as well.
The trails around here are a royal mess this time of year, I am not sure how soon I will get to try her out.Amanda

If I was in texas I'd be out on the trail too. looks like it will handle the trail real nice though. I agree beter get some type of pedals, do not want to hurt yourself on the trail.
