How is the pricing of bikes there for that type of bike? Mid-range? Excellent to start off with that colour....and you must be one of the rare TE members who has a skirt protector on the wheel.
You must have had fun cycling around the city.

Beautiful. And what a healing way to fulfill Donald's dream.
Will you be shipping her home, or will she stay there with family for you to visit?Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

that saddle is a B66 I wanted something sleeker and lighter good thing they didn't have what i wanted. Those springs are a necessity.
The price was at the bottom of their line. I could have gotten a more "Retro" bike for about 500 euros. Mine with the saddle was 350euros.
Caterina will be staying in Italy with Elena. And Elena can ride her all she wants. This particular bike would not work where I live, it's just too hilly.I like Bikes - Mimi

What a beauty she is!
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

Ah, so you need to leave her behind and whenever you come to Italy, you can ride her around. But it's a "gift" also to your relatives.

My sister looks after my other 14-yr. old well-used bike in Toronto (it's actually hers. I've given it to her perpetually.), which the handlebar grips needs replacing...later. I'll be visiting next year to ride again while staying with family.
(This probably sounds wierd to some folks here...but it costs money to ship a bike and renting a bike locally, that fits me with decent gearing, is a headache.)My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.

I know 2 other people who have done the same, Shooting star. It's easier to just leave a bike. As my one friend put it, if the guy i left the bike with moves away, so be it, but he probably won't and i have a bike waiting there in that city whenever i need it.
