ReplyDeleteAre they all ladies bikes?
ReplyDeleteUnisex bikes :)
ReplyDeleteThe proper term for these kind of bikes is a "safety frame" bike.Very sad to see the shaft drive one rusting away in the water.This style of bike is starting to make a comeback in North America mainly for urban short trip useage.Where I live in Canada something similar to the second from the top will cost you about $600.00.Made in China of course.Is there a bike racing track anywhere near you Ojisanjake? I have a link to "Shikoku Keirin" racing on Lee 1.It's a challenge trying to get around the site but I manage. cjg of eroticalee
