Shimano Nexus 8 hub
Aluminum frame & fork
Very flexible seat post (not good).
Replace the bars (with black) and bent brake levers.
I adjusted the shifter, aired up the tires, cleaned a layer of scum off it.
The front brake squeals like mad. I cleaned and regreased the brakes, filed the pads but it's even worse. The v-brakes have a plastic pivot sleeve that may be the issue. Next up is to replace the brakes with another model. Black would look better. Shortened the brake cables.
Frame is rather short.
Rides slow.
2011 model year.
