Funny enough, I seem to get more odd looks on my Tanglefoot Hardtack than I did on my old Susie. Something about high drop bars and a basket rack really seems to confuse people. I did have a few “cruiser bike” comments with the Susie though. Doesn’t phase me at all. I get a lot of questions about the Hardtack, with the Susie people just thought it was cool looking.
