Joyce, This was a long time coming. I think your comments "svelte, agile and beautiful" describes it well. And with your wide tires, I bet you don't feel a pothole. The honey saddle and grips give it such a soft edge--I love it. And, metal fenders! i wasn't going to fender mine, but changed my mind. I got SKS, but those metal ones you have are so much nicer looking. A very classy look!
I LOVE my AHHilsen, but end up pulling my Platy for more rides. I think it's the feeling of freedom of the mixte design. Your other bike is a Clem L, right, so you already know the joys of not worrying when you need to jump off bike quickly. Many happy miles to you!
