the website only says "lightweight"... I wonder what the bike actually weighs?

That's just an ugly Electra Townie. Not too much cheaper than a real one, too.

With all due respect I would never buy a bike I couldn't try out first. That's smart shopping.

Yikes...normally BD bikes are at pretty good prices, but almost $400 for a three speed cruiser online? Yikes.

+1 (unless I had first tried out an identical model in person) And I find it difficult to believe one size bike ".... 19" fits most riders from 5'7" to
6'2"

I do agree about trying before buying. I'd have passed on the Melon due to the handlebars, and gotten a nice mini Velo instead.
