Use it for casual--sometimes social--rides in L.A. traffic, usually carrying a still camera when exploring neighborhoods. Bike is quick and nimble and handles varying terrain well.
Last bike was a Bianchi Backstreet (ah, Celeste Green!), purchased in 1990.
How you like those? They came stock on my Smoke, and I've decided that if/when I get another bike, I'm putting those on it.
