You sure it's not you that is in love with the bike but it's the wrong size?
No hills whatsoever. I have three different bikes, geared, fixed and single speed
. She, on her own accord, chooses to not have to mess with gears.
But you're right, I do like the bike for its components.
But she likes its riding position. It's not until recently that she has decided to start commuting on her old bike.
