This bike by far is the favorite of my collection so far. I was searching for the perfect bike to turn into a single speed city bike with upright bars, and didnt want to use a heavy old Raleigh or anything like that. I attained this bike from its origional owner, in its origional ten speed configuration, and converted it into what you see now. I have never ridden such a comfortable bike as this one, or one with as much style! I love it, and will keep it for as long as possible. Theres nothing better for tooling around NYC whether it be sunny and 90 degrees, or 15 degrees and snowing!
