Beautiful. Functional. They may have gotten it half right, though I'm skeptical. And what's with the kickstand? If we're going full green-out, complete with rims painted while the tires are still mounted, there is absolutely no reason to slack on this critical piece of hardware. Effect ruined. I quit.

It looks strange, and it rides great!
Underneath the ivy, it's a 21 speed Schwinn, 16" frame, 26" wheels.
It has front and rear safety lights, plus great additional safety/beauty lights: a neon green electroluminescent (EL) wire on the frame and blue LED lights around the front wheel for additional beauty and visibility on dark streets.
plus!
A GENUINE EYEBALL BELL!! Dring Dring!
And a back rack. The tires are in great shape.
