i now have an even newer, more classic obsession.
actually, it is more like obsession version 1.2 - and i am only a little bit surprised in my almost constant imagining in owning this....
or this. it's this one that distracted from the beach cruiser and although these are much more expensive, i think one or the other is going to be mine.... soon.
i will also be needing a dog to ride in a basket attached to the back. a woven wicker basket - with loaves of french bread and and arm loads of tulips... i am, right now, seconds away from tears of pure joy and excitement.
a collaboration with the futuregirl!

Yes. I heart them.

Yes, but you have to be wearing a French fisherman's striped shirt, too, and a beret, and those lace-up espadrilles . . .

Oh my, the Classic 3 Amsterdam with the tulips! That is a beauty. Where have these bikes been all my life? That beauty can (almost) trump function - that is all that I've ever wanted.

And you will need to wear a dress with a flowing skirt. These are wonderful bikes, and commendable obsessions.

Oh yes! Both my mum and my sister had bikes like the top one and are the most comfortable bikes I've ever ridden...They are pretty heavy bikes, but then there are no such things like 'hills' in Holland and once they start they go like a dream... I always used to imagine myself being in a horse drawn carriage that had no need for the horse in front. :)

He has the Cafe. and everyone loves it.

Oh! Love them. I just got a Dahon Speed D7 in our 500 sqft, I needed a folder *giggle* I wish I could have one of those though. Can I live vicariously through you? Have you seen the pink bike at Hello Cupcake in Tacoma? If not, just let me know, I will send pics.
How are you? It has been too long! xox=vv.

I own this bike. The bottom one. But in beautiful white. It is actually very light...the lightest bike I've ever ridden (not sure that's a word, but you know what I mean). I love it! You SHOULD buy one. :)
