I'm not sure about the title - just modded they way I want it. It's just my everyday knock around bike.

It was a good ride-able bike when I bought it last year, but I made several tweaks. I've changed everything but the forks, crank, sprocket, and wheels.

Previously resprayed middleweight frame, for guilt free modding.
Shimano 3 speed
Duro "slick" tires. (How are they slick, when there's more groves than a typical, motorcycle sport touring tire?)
PorkChop BMX alloy seatpost, and seatpost clamp.
New bars, and stem.
Front brake added.
KMC chrome, and black chain. It came with a bronze chain that looked funny with all the other black/shiny bits.
3G Isla Vista seat. Looks rough, super comfy, no saggy springs.
60s Schwinn stickers. I assume that style of forks never came with darts - don't care, I like 'em.
