itty bitty city bike


I don't know why more people don't order bikes like this. Having a custom built city bike is buying something that could actually save money in fuel and keep you in shape. This one is for a 64 year old 5' 1" woman in Palo Alto.

Props to the woman who ordered this bike, and props to you all for building it. It looks nice.

what I love about this bike that it is NOT "over the top".

Sure its a custom frame but the parts selection (from what I can tell) are moderately priced and practical. Ok its a King headset, but I still think, considering they will survive a nuclear blast along with the cockroaches and that absolute dollar wise they aren't a "luxury" item, that they are worth every penny.

I love seeing that there is a market for this kind of bike!

The custome didn't specify the headset....I did that. i guess I just wanted one component to be the best and the remainder to be affordable/durable/no-so-bike-thief-attracting. The paint was specified by the customer....low key.
