Here's my latest. I just took it for it's maiden voyage from Lincoln Park up to Wrigleyville. Tomorrow it's your love, then the world. I saw some creeps sneakin' a peek on Belmont when I stopped off to show it off at Chicago Tatoo. I've reached cycling extacy, seriously. Expect to see my other bikes/parts on eBay & CL soon enough.

Save up. My blue bike makes me not ever want to ride another bike, it's perfect. Darian's feels really nice too, although it's got too much seatpost for me in it's current config
Darian was riding it yesterday and he thought something was wrong because he said the pedals felt like they turned too easily. He's used to an old specialized road conversion that weighs about 5 pounds more than the Walker. Power transfer is so effecient too...
A few more pics of our outing:
