This
is my wife's bike. She always told me not to buy her a bike. I couldn't
help myself when this was offered up for sale on bikelist.org
. Low miles, perfect parts build. Amazing paint! So I was able to
work out the details and get it shipped in time for Christmas.
Luckily,
it has been a hit! My wife has gone through a lot of bikes trying
to get one to fit her. She gave up several years ago and was content
to ride our tandem with me. With this Glorius, she is finally able
to get the bars close enough that her torso isn't stretched out
and neck strained by the ride. On previous bikes, she would get
a terrible head and shoulder ache almost immediately!
The
build is amazing, and the custom paint is fantastic. In the Rivendell
hierarchy, the paint job is somewhere between the Toyo painted bikes
and a Joe Bell Custom. Simply beautiful.
The
kickstand mounting plate is my favorite feature. A very thoughful
addition.
