This might be the weirdest bike I picked up, but the parts on it is what I needed. It is a old Steve Bauer city bike. Steve Bauer was a local bike racer not far from were I live. He raced in the tour de france, and came close but never won. (The mountain stages got the better of him). So Canadian Tire (Canadian hardware store) and some local bike shops sold his bikes. Few mountain bikes and a lot of road. I saw this on kijiji but never saw the bike anywhere else.
For me this bike is going to used for parts. It has Sachs 5 speed hub with drum brakes with Araya 26x1.50 rims. Those are going to be used on my roll fast bike I never got to finish. Has anyone ever saw these hubs before? The cables broke from the shifter. The strangest thing is there are 2 cables going to the rear hub to change the gears. One on each side. Right now I can't change gears but I took it for a quick spin and the bike rolls pretty good. The brakes work fantastic! They stop on a dime.
Well here are the pics...... enjoy!

And a seat that was cover with one of those gel covered seat covers.
