Hey bloggers! It has been a great summer so far for me. I just graduated high school and have recently come back from a vacation to St.Lucia! I arrived in Canada a week ago and have already managed to find another road bike. Well, I guess my dad found it at a yard sale for $15.
It's a RoadKing Seville and has to be at least fifteen years old. The front wheel is a tad warped, but it doesn't interfere with the stability at all. This is a great bike because it takes no effort to peddle, and the bearings are so good you can coast for as long as you can. It came with a rock-hard plastic saddle, so I swapped that for a gel CCM. Also, the grip tape was peeling so I replaced that as well. I added the trademark cargo holder on the rear, adjusted the handlebar angle and it was ready for the road.
My dad likes this type of bike just like myself. He says it's what he grew up with. It's easy to carry, can be driven on pavement or gravel, and is very fast. He wants one now!
Original condition.
Aftermarket condition.
