Additional Info

You didn't leave a space for what brand of quick release lever I was using...Salsa.

I have always had superior cognitive aptitude, hence the wide rim and tire build with ultra-short stem. I was truly ahead of my own time and any bike company that didn't hire me then surely missed out on market dominance.

Seruiously, this bike was a blast and still would be today. It was only retired in 2012 but I long to rebuild it just like this so I am on the hunt for a Manitou Sherman Firefly once again...
