Wow. Love the helpful specs:

Brakes: Road brake
Saddle: Black

Also, it's nice not having to fret over sizing, as there are only 2 from which to choose. Fortunately, there are 4 color choices. At least there's no confusion over priorities.

The hell with specs and proper sizing... it's all about style and personality.

Plus that bulging TT makes it look like a motorcycle. And chicks dig that. VROOM VROOM mother****ers!

PUMA and Biomega have launched a website to sell a range of urban bicycles for Summer 2010. Puma Bikes will offer five models, some with features like folding frames and integrated handlebar baskets. Everyone is familiar with Puma, but the US market is probably less familiar with Biomega, which was founded in 1998. They distribute products to more than 20 countries, and have headquarters in Copenhagen, Denmark.
This is coming from the https://urbanvelo.org site.

Puma --> Fail.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

That is an ugly bike!

Guys, keep it clean, and remember, I'm trusting you to not go too far over the top here.

Minus the terrible colors, the high price tag, the terrible frame design (TT), it doesn't seem that terrible.

It would be bearable with a normal top tube.

running the 3 primary colors (looks like CMYK), or their variations, is a no go. It looks ok for 2 seconds and then I just dont want to look at it anymore.

Can you buy matching shoes? That's the real dilemma for me.
