Bought this black Ultra after a traumatic breakup in my later 20's, as only a 20's break up can be, boohoo. I'd bought my gal a Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo (which I loved to ride), but they both moved out...
The Ultra is a lovely bike, we'll never part. Still has time correct Hite Rite - check it out kiddies, we figured out dropper posts way back when.
It hangs out in my garage beside it's cousin, a carbon BreakAway. Both get out for rides. I'll add some photos of the Ultra soon.
Is there a URL where people can read or see more about your bike?
