retrovelo

due to my practical bent, i normally turn away from clunky retro dutch bikes, but these smaller-sized ones are so, so lovely. and not like the 'hey let me attach a wicker basket to the front and ride through a cobblestone street to the grocery' types. those are fine, but not my style.

the fat tires are cute!!! apparently to maintain a lower rolling resistance, they need an insanely high psi.

so $2000+ though. wonder if i can build a cheaper version someday. i will definitely use the color palette of the bike in the last photo for future inspiration..
