New Masi bike is here!

that is a beautiful bike! i want to know more about the internal hub. what about it needs you getting used to?

It's the coaster brakes that I had to get used to. Guess I ran that all together, didn't I? My hands kept reaching for the brake levers and you have to be careful when you coast that you don't back pedal at all. I can change that up later if I decide to. I do want to give them a shot, though. The only thing about the internal hub is that it has a grip shifter and I haven't used one of those in a long time. I'm looking forward to not worrying about a derailleur in the mud and gunk of my commute.

Ooooo...I love it. Absolutely gorgeous.

I remember lusting after that bike when it was first released (in white/off-white, I think). It was really difficult to keep myself from running out and ordering one. And now that I'm seeing that gorgeous new color, I'm going to have to start exercising all of my powers of self-restraint again.

That is absolutely lovely. I need to move somewhere flat and get a cute step-through like that.

Wow that is a cool bike! I know someone who is looking for a bike that is a cruiser style with shifters and that looks perfect!

Congrats!!! I use the same bike for commuting (the unisex/fixed gear version) and love it. It's a comfortable ride and lots of fun, too. You'll have many great years together!
