At the time I didn't realize it was a hack, however.<br />The bike had stainess fenders and chainguard, but the inside piece of the chainguard was missing.

It worked pretty darn well, and you had to get pretty close to see it was homemade.<br /><br />That was a sweet little bike that went to a good home.
