I thought the mountain bikes from the early 1980's and late 1970's so totally rocked and I wasn't born before 1981 to spec this bike perfectly, etc. so I want to make it the Retro SOMA Groove Touring XC Mountain Bike Beast! I want excellent braking power from the levers delivering that to the brakes and excellent shifting power! I hope all of you will think my retro cruiser so totally rocks as well!
