This is a Cadillac AVSL lightweight frame and aluminum component mountain bicycle suitable for trails, city commuting, or country touring. The only way you could obtain these bicycles is if you also purchased an expensive Cadillac car in 2005. The AVSL mountain bikes were only available for the most expensive Cadillac car models. Cadillac had considered getting into the bicycle business, but decided to stick to cars. Hence, this bike is incredibly rare! This bicycle is like new in excellent condition and everything works properly. It has front fork and rear seat-post suspension, short rise handlebars, new brake pads, new tubes, and puncture resistant gravel/ street tires. Included reflectors keep you visible and safe at night. The ride is light, silky smooth, and quiet like a Cadillac should be. The bike has been meticulously detailed. The handgrips feel great. The headset, bottom bracket, and wheels have all had their bearings serviced and packed with new grease by a professional bicycle mechanic who knows and loves these fine machines. Aluminum alloy quick release 26" wheels spin freely and are perfectly true. The chain is clean and lubricated. Large wide pedals are original. The handlebars have a sweeping half-moon shape. Front and rear Nexave Shimano derailleurs have been cleaned and fine-tuned. The 21 gears include a Mega-range freewheel. Unique to this bike is the button-push and trigger indexed shifting. There are dial gear indicators too, similar to a car's instrumentation! Brakes work flawlessly. A removeable kickstand is also included. This bike is great for hopping on and riding without putting on all kinds of special bike gear and clothes, although you could do that if you wanted to. If you are a Cadillac car collector or have a Cadillac show car, this bike would be a perfect accessory to help win car shows with. You can ride the bike with long jeans and regular shoes because the chainwheel chainguard keeps pants from getting into the chain. The chainguard is patterned after a Cadillac car wheel design. The 21 speeds are plenty of gears for steep hills or fast downhills. This bike can be used in many ways. It's a wonderful mountain bike for trails. It is a fantastic commuter bike because you can ride it in your work or school clothes. Save $$$ on gas by not using any!! You can add racks or baskets to get groceries or carry a briefcase. It is lightweight and easy to put on a bus or train and fits on bike racks if you use metro. If you just want to ride fast and far, you can pedal your brains out. The shock absorbers make for an extremely comfortable and efficient ride. It's an all-around great bicycle! Don't hesitate to buy this beautiful bike because it is the only one like this that I have for sale. Sometimes, I have other bikes, but they sell fast because they are priced fairly, and people like my quality bikes. Check my other listings. Available for shipping and local pickup. If shipped, the bike will arrive carefully and professionally packaged in a bicycle box. The front wheel, seat, and pedals will be removed from the bike but located in the box. The handlebars will be either removed or rotated at the headset to fit in the box. The shifters and brake cables will remain intact. Tires will be slightly deflated to absorb shipping activity. Reassembly is simple with common tools. keywords: city urban country mountain bike chainguard *****************************************
