I can guarantee you that this is a true racing bike. With its lightweight rear steel wheel, excellent brake and Vancouver's dry clime, it will fly past anyone on their overpriced Cervelo sitting at a red light. The lighting quick handlebar steering mechanism allows you to dodge the oncoming traffic but never fear, they will see the sparkly cat stickers and know what wondrous luck has befallen them: A rare glimpse of the legendary ***** Cruiser. They may attempt to tell their friends and family, but as often as not, no one will ever believe them.
