Bought this in July 2021. I am selling it because I am replacing it with electric bike. This is the size of the bike:
15.5" - 5'6" to 5'9"
The 1st picture shows the original bike when I purchased it. I replaced the handle bar so that my back can rest better (I still keep the original handle bar). I have also installed a cargo rack and a metal basket as shown in the second picture. This is an internal gear hub system so you do not see the gear cassette on the outside. This gear system is very reliable because it does not need maintenance for a very long time, unlike its cousin that exposes the chain and the gears to the element.
