Picking the pink cruiser bike up Saturday! Really quick shipping as I only ordered it Sunday. Called and talked to a guy at Performance today, and he couldn't have been nicer. Yes, it's assembled already (I just don't have time to get it until Sat.); yes, they have tons of bike boxes, no problem. So far, this has been a very positive experience.
Hopefully the bike will be as sweet as I expect! Will definitely post a picture once I get it. It's supposed to be in the 80s over the weekend, so I'll be able to tool around on it a bit after picking it up (after our regularly scheduled Sat. morning market ride).

My New Beach Cruiser
Here she is! Very girly, very pink. I'd actually have preferred something less flashy, but this bike was the only one I could find that had all the features I was looking for.
She seems so HUGE next to my tiny little Bike Friday Petite Pocket Crusoe (20" wheels) and even my MTB b/c of the high/wide handlebars and HUGE saddle. I must say, tho, that saddle is pretty darn comfy for on a beach bike where you don't typically wear padded bike shorts and sit much more upright. And she fits just fine despite her largess...

I'd have to name her Peppi - as in Pepto Bismol pink, but in a good way.
