This a fairly faithful reproduction of the legendary Pittsburgh Triangle Messenger Bikes that made up their Triangle's vast fleet. Back before 2000 these workhorses were everywhere but now they are all but extinct. It is a great vehicle for transporting anything from groceries to Ellsworth the Lhasa Apso. He seems to enjoy being in the basket and going for rides.
