WOW!!! That pretty much sums it up. Sorry I can't post pics but spend a few minutes looking at this beauty and reading the description at the bottom of the page.

very pretty, although the double top-tube isn't to my liking.
also, the fenders look weak!
but if someone gave me one i wouldn't turn them down!

The fenders look like the Berthoud CF model, which I didn't think came wide enough for anything bigger than 23mm tires.
It's a neat looking bike, but I'm also not a big fan of Ahearn's doubled tubes on many of their bikes. Structurally I can see it adding strength to a frame which might take a beating on some rough roads, but is the additional weight (it must add a significant amount) worth it?
I really like their rack designs, though. Especially looking at the rest of the site and checking out some of their commuter versions.
