She needs to watch out for the police, they are attracted to nice red rides.

I like those new X-frame Suns. Much nicer looking bikes than their old models. Comfortable riding too.

And how can you afford to buy a bike when your windows are in such need of new paint?

This bike fit her needs for a low step-over frame and low BB height. The bike allows her to plant her feet at stops which not all the 'bents do (she's only 5'3").

Thank You. Here are the specs. https://www.sunbicycles.com/sun/index.html (listed under new products).
This bike fit her needs for a low step-over frame and low BB height. The bike allows her to plant her feet at stops which not all the 'bents do (she's only 5'3").
All the money I save on sensless things like "Home Maintainance" goes into the bike fund.

Mrs. Cranky done good! A very stylish ride.
You are a fortunate man. My better half doesn't have the least bit of interest in 2-wheeled pursuits at this point.
Congratulations to Mrs. Cranky!

I rented one of the new X-3 trikes and rode it on the Root River Trail in Minnesota last September. That was fun. If I could sneak one into my garage undetected by Goldberry, I'd do it.

All I can think is that it's got the "X" factor going for it.

Very nice looking bent.
Also looks like you hijacked the cable box.
More cost savings measures for bike accessories??

Very nice ride. I was considering one of those when looking at the EZ-1 or Cycle Genius Sparrow. They didn't have one in stock, but had the X-2 aluminum. If the X-1 rolls as easy as the X-2, you're going to have trouble keeping up with your wife.
I like these handlebar mirrors.
