Also I KNOW that it is a D3 but the freakin' 'puter posted this before I could fix it.
The Piccolo was my first bicycle that I ever owned. I used up that bike so much and sold it recently for $30 bucks it was in that bad condition. However, it's a well made bicycle and that Sturmey Archer shifted worked like a charm for over 4 years of hard labor. I only replaced the shifter but the hub still shifted like new even after being used as a commuter bike for four years in rain and snow.

I like the Piccolo but if I were to do it again, I would have gotton a folder with 20 inch wheels. The only reason you would go to a 16 inch wheel is to board the inside of a bus. Otherwise, anywhere you can take a 16 inch wheel, a 20 inch wheel will have no problem.
