Have fun with it !
I've seen some of their three speeds...nice bikes, with good workmanship and paint. I kinda wish someone would sell 2006 "re-issues" of the classic three speed bikes, but with alloy rims, light weight slick tires, and alloy bars and stems. That would bring their weight down to around 30 pounds, a good weight for a "commute to work" or "off to Krogers" around the neighborhood bike.
