Love life and turn heads every time you ride this spring (and forever). This elegant yet practical piece of machinery has unique good looks that get complimented everywhere it goes. In addition to being absolutely beautiful, it's pretty much the funnest bike ever to ride. It reminds me of a swoopy rollercoaster. I dare you to ride it without bursting into a huge grin.

It's the perfect bike for Chicago streets too. The wide tires and springer saddle smooths out the harshest of rough roads. The 3-speed hub has just enough gears to handle winds and the occasional hill without being complicated to use and maintain. The disc brakes provide excellent stopping power in the worst inclement weather. Every part of the bike is durable enough for a long life in the city.

For the fashion inclined, the bamboo fenders and chain guard keep you clean, even when wearing a flowy skirt in a rainstorm. The porteur-style front rack and dual kick-stand look good and stay stable while toting farmer's market finds or canine companions.

The bike was purchased new in 2011 from Rapid Transit. My ex rode it twice, then decided cycling wasn't for her. It's been in storage ever since (other than me taking it out a few times because it's SO fun to ride.) It has less than 100 miles total on it.

It fits a wide range of heights. If you're 5' 8" or under it will fit perfect. I've had friends who are 5'0" take test rides with plenty of room to further lower the saddle. I'm 6'0" and ride it, but it's a little small to be practical.
