My New Bike

So. I've been bombing around town on a bike thats waaayyy too big for me .It's a free bike they were giving away in my building so I've just been putting up with it.
But after a lot of ribbing from a couple friends I decided to buy a project bike to convert into a cute run about town city bike. So here it is.

Its a 1985 Norco Monterey. Made in Japan . Small ,light in pretty good shape. I'm going to swap out the handlebars for 'granny ' style upright bars and get a leather saddle. Chrome fenders(ok mud flaps) and a bell!

I have been inspired by website I stumbled upon ...Copenhagen Chic and by this article.

I test rode a couple of imported Dutch bikes but they are HEAVY! I think they weigh more than me!....which is fine if you're cruising along a dyke but going up some of the steep hill of Vancouver would not be fun. The idea is not to get sweaty in your cute dress and heels!
