Toast's Giant Escape Commuter
Toast is a Worker Owner and provides a nearly limitless amount of knowledge as our Education Coordinator. Toast also spent years as a Coordinator for our service department, and helps relay those years of experience to our customers as part of the Hub's many classes.
This practical-yet-feisty hybrid has been upgraded from a stock build of a Giant Escape 2.
