Jeremy and I have been discussing that Austro-Daimler since the price dropped. The seller did not offer me free shipping but did offer me the original leather saddle. (It's white -- can you ride that after Labor Day?) I have two fabulous mixte single speeds and I don't need another, but there has been talk of putting gears onto my Puch ... the guy at the LBS suggested a Nexus hub. I am going to need to be able to haul a baby trailer and I am not sure I can do that with a single speed, and frankly my geared bikes are not as well suited to errand-running as my mixtes are. (That would be my mountain bike and my road bike; the former is heavy and I don't want to put a rack and fenders on either of them.)

Doing the shifter hub upgrade to the Puch is going to cost about $350-$400. This entire bike is cheaper than that, even with shipping. But maybe I really don't want 25-year-old shifting.

Someone talk me out of this. I can't ride the bikes I already have right now; I'm just concerned that I still won't be able to ride much even after she is old enough for the trailer.
