No racks or fenders, but it has a leather saddle and an upright riding position. :)

Beauty. I like the hammered fenders. What kind of rack is that?

When I was reading your rant on State bicycle about your wife's bike I was thinking, "Just dump the darn fenders man." I know, I know, she wants that Dutchie look. Gotta keep her happy.

Actually... We dumped the fenders. And all is well with the world. I'd still not buy another State, but I'll be damned if seeing her bike sans-fenders and seeing that awesome green machine of yours doesn't make me want a more relaxed cruiser... :)
I enjoy fooling around on bikes, so drop bars don't work for me and Bullhorns put my hands too far forward of the steering axis for my taste. Plus I get a better workout with upright bars because I create more drag in that position. He he he. |

I love these "Townies" and think I may have to build one sometime. |

Ahem... Chartreuse. My apologies, sir. :D

I want a lugged frame and a curved blade fork for a more traditional look. And I'd like a couple inches more wheel base at the rear, with room for 35mm tires. The Chartreuse bike has 32s and it's a TIGHT squeeze at the rear and I had too file the fork about 4mms just below the brake hole (not the blades) too accept the tire vertically. I like comfy tires. |

My townie bike is a Trek Earl that I found on craigslist. I've made quite a few changes, mostly with parts I had on hand:
