2015 GT Tachyon Elite
2015 GT Tachyon Elite is a Speed Metal aluminum road bike with Shimano Claris 8-speed triple gearing and mechanical disc brakes for all-weather commuting.
Description
There’s the direct route, the slightly indirect route, and then the route you take when the work day has come to an end and it’s time to play. It goes past the firehouse, down that path by the river, and around the back side of the city, because that’s what your Tachyon was built for: taking the long way home.
