As noted above, this is a garage find! The tires are deflated, the wheels have broken spokes, there is rust present as seen in the photos. Given that, the wheels turn, the levers move with pressure, and the condition (as seen in the photos), with some TLC, this legend should be up and running again! However, I make no claims beyond that, given it is possibly a 13 or so year old bike… though the red color does not bear that out… it is just beautiful… as I said, a garage find, which probably accounts for the wonderful appearance you see here.I am not a bicycle person, but I have a good number of contacts who pass leads along to me when they become aware of them… such was the case with this find. So, on to the bike.************************************************************************P51 F34124 is stamped on the frame, as shown in the photo.

On the inside of the stem that the foot pedal is mounted on is “FL “5EBC170” . On the inside of the frame, where the rear axle is, stamped is what appears to be “6U”. The bicycle seat is intact, and bears the “Specialized” S logo. Under the seat is a tag that reads BG-103C1″, believed to stand for “Body Geometry” brand. The BG also appears on the seat. The seat mount is a “Klein.” That encompasses what I gleaned from the bike, with what I found via Google. Happy to answer questions for additional information… The photos here are some of the 88 I took. I don’t often do bikes, the last one I did was a nice 1999 Gary Fisher Tassajara mountain bike. ************************************************* UPDATE!
