It was this dudes sailboat bike that he didnt ride (or sail the boat) since he bought it in 1997(?). Still had the paperwork and reciept for it. Oh, and I did buy her a nice bike, I sold it though cuz she didnt like it and rode 3 miles in 6 months. Thats how she gets away with "stealing" my folder!
BTW, your bike is looking alot like my bike, the one she lets me drive.... I have since added slicks and trekking bars just havent got any pics since then.
Drive, shmive I always say. Fifty bones for a cherry Dahon (which looks to have a bomber frame) is a shrewd deal. Nice job.
If the lady wants a pretty green milk crate on her (your) bike, than a pretty green milk crate she shall have. I hope she knows how lucky she is to have a fine gentleman looking after her. And it speaks well for her character to prefer a practical little run-about bike over a spendy glam bike.
Your bike is of a much finer breed than the bruiser, but it does look rugged and no-nonsense. Built to get the job done, come what may. I like it. How do you like the trekking bars? Besides the challenges of installing controls, I love them. So many hand positions.
