I think the real winner here, though, is that guy with the pizza bag there in the background.
It's about a 2005 model, with the mullet brake arrangement. I've been eyeballing the Navigator off and on, as a possible reward purchase for my Healthywage.com winnings, which I've earned, but won't get a payout until Oct. I figure on putting drop bars on it if I do get that one.
The pizza bag belongs to a gal who works at the bike shop (Redemptive Cycles, B'ham AL), and is a pretty good rider. She's still faster than me anyway
. Note the cheeseburger seat bag, and she has ketchup and mustard water bottles. Her bike looks delicious!
