We only ordered a few but I am pretty sure we will be selling through them pretty fast. Many people do not want a used bike. They want a bike that they know is the correct size and they want a shop that is willing to listen to them and get them on the right bike. This is a great bike for the beginning recreational rider or a seasoned rider looking for a #2 bike or a foul weather bike. It will also appeal to the guy like me who simply appreciates the retro look and feel.
