Because somebody has to be "that guy"

Edit: But seriously, working in Architecture, I can say no one here has the first darn clue. What's the vibe of the place when standing in the middle of the room ? What's the clientele ? What demographic is she trying to attract ? Is she looking to be active in attracting the bike crowd ? A rusty bike from the 20's could be all wrong for the space, or just perfect. Does it feel like Brooks Brothers or Chipholte ? Worlds apart.

The more I think about it - an older Trek may be the best neutral choice. Made in the USA. Speaks to all generations. New enough to be current and not outdated. But still.......without seeing the space .... a bright red 330 could be perfect or stupid

For example - not gonna hang a 100 year old bike in this space. It just wouldn't work. This space has that hip urban feel. Nice choice in bikes. Current. Speaks to the clientele. It just works. Also be careful about hanging anything dirty and or rusty in an establishment that serves food or drinks, especially with tables nearby / under / next to. Unless you are gonna give it 30 coats of clear. Especially in California where you can barely open a carbonated beverage without a permit. Yea, I've done some work out there. Your codes are nuts !
