Bought one for my wife, but customized. Wanted Nexus 8-sp internal hub, but NOT suspension fork (don't need it on the street or bike trail with those tires, and don't want the maintenance hassle of a cheap susp fork). Bought a Townie-7 derailleur model & Nexus red-band hub, built my own wheel; had to add a spring chain-tensioner & also, special-order anti-torque washers, as T-7 has vertical drops. Couldn't modify T-3 because of OLN dimension.

Net is she loves it, rides lots now. I take it to the store occasionally, too, 'cause I like that hub.
