Hi all. My GF is moving into the city and needs a bike for commuting. She's found This Bike (http://cgi.ebay.com/1950s-Fisher-vintage-ladies-cruiser-bicycle_W0QQitemZ370062916689QQihZ024QQcategoryZ156524QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) on ebay, and will be passing by Maryland in a few days on the way home to her family so she could pick it up.

Anybody have any ideas about the bike? Anything about the brand? What sort of wheel/tire size, etc...?
Can't seem to find squat by searching, and auction ends in 20 hours.

Thanks in advance!

Ben

I just asked the seller for wheel size and number of gears. I'll post the reply here for the sake of posterity.

Well, the guy finally got back to me 20 min before the auction closed.
It's a single speed.
He said it has 38 inch wheels. Yes, that's right. he said 38 inch. He said so twice, so i know it wasn't a typo.
What the heck could he have meant?!?!?!? That's a preposterous size to even contemplate.
