Built this for my fiancee so we could cruise around town on weekends. We live in a hilly area so it had to have low-low-low-gears (I call the bailout 34-tooth the "Make sure she's having fun" gear).
Powdercoat was done by JD's Cycle Shack in Denver, great people to work with.
I love the mixte frame style and wanted to make a classy, fun cruiser.
