Neat little bike. As noted these "Terry Style" bikes were marketed to petite women but Georgian Terry's company built women's specific geometry bikes for women of all sizes,

Almost every company made one or two models, but you seldom sold one. This bike started life as a regular "10 Speed" but someone added those bars and that awful stem to get a bit too much of an upright sitting position.
