    $1300 and doesn't even come with a proper rack. That's a lifestyle
    bike all right. It's funny how Danes overdesign things to the point of
    absurdity. Swedes, on the other hand, ooze elan and panache!

    Skeppshult, for the win!

    She has a right proper rack, IMO. ;-)

    Do those shoes come in an SPD version?

    Maybe they set it up that way so she'd eventually come backstage
    again. Looks to only be able to turn left due to fender/downtube
    interference. Sorta like the way an egg rolls.

    That is a nice looking bike, sorta what a Bianchi Milano could have been
    had they detailed it like the Bianchi Regina in Milano.

    A buddy of mine in Gothenburg has a "Natur" Skeppshult--the really old-
    timey looking one with grey tires, and hidden modernities such as an
    Nexus hub, dynohub, and the like. Fantastic. The Swedish bikes have a
    more modern geometry compared to Dutch fiets or traditional English
    roadsters. Hill climbing while standing is actually not a daunting
    exercise.

    How about this one for practicality. An $8000 "hybrid" motorized bike:

    http://www.dwr.com/productdetail.cfm?id=12831

    Arguably, it's more practical than, say, an $8000 time-trial bike. I'm
    just sayin'....

    You could buy five of those for the same price as the Harley the guy
    down the street has decked out to look like a lamp shade.

    Looks like it must steer like a yacht with that humongous amount of
    trail.

    Check back upthread - see the references to medical insurance, dental
    coverage, facial reconstruction? We weren't just forking around, ya
    know!

    Hmmm, haven't priced out standard Swedish bikes in a while, but
    they're getting into Shimano generator hubs now, finally. The Swedes
    were hapless bottle generator geeks for too many years. Seems $1K gets
    you a fully decked out bike with all the fixins--even a fork turned
    the right way:

    This bad boy is right at $1K

    chain case goodness!

    This will make you sick if you're one of those that moan about
    practical bikes being rare in the US:

    about 6.6 krona to the dollar if you're curious about price.

  19. TIME FOR GOATBERG!

    VERY INETERSTING Classic 227 7 vxl et al

    Having hefted the modern Swedish ones, I'd venture that fella weighs
    around 32-35 pounds. A 38# dutch bike? Nah, more like 50 for a
    standard fiets.

    Yeah, what do the Chinese know about bikes?
