Additional Info
I found this bike on Marketplace for about $350 and it was full stock and in showroom condition so I had to get it. Size 14”/small so there was no way I was going to pass it up for my dude. I told him the story of JT and show him photos all the time of him and how JT is the all time GOAT (Sorry Greg 😬).
Josey loves the lore behind the bike and loves riding it. He took it off his first 1-foot drop the other day and wants to keep riding and improving. Epic proud dad right here.
I also picked up a 1998 GT STS thermoplastic frame, size medium for his next bike.
