I bought my wife the Coda Femme 3 weeks ago while I was looking for a vintage french road bike for myself......after looking at many vintage bikes and watching her ride the Coda, I just went and bought one for myself. I have already put about 200 miles on it and I love it! Very comfortable and reasonably light. The components are better than other bikes I looked at in this price range too. I put fenders, lights and a rack on it all for under $600.00 and under 28 pounds. I am about to do a 200 mile trip on it in two days time and I will update you on how it went.

I think how the bike works out for you will depend a lot on how it is set up by the dealer too. Although I love my bike guys, the spokes needed tightening, the headset was on a little crooked and loose, and the handlebars were not tightened down sufficiently....this caused me some problems on a big climb. I understand because they gave me such a great deal on the bike.

Good Luck
Robert
