How did you acquire this bike?
I saw it on Craiglist. My frame cracked on my other bike, so I was just going to get a new frame but then I found the whole shebang. I like the color scheme: black and celeste green.
I think the two sexiest things about this bike are the seat and the toe straps.
The saddle was a present from my dad. The pink toe straps I got in San Francisco when I was a barista. If the saddle was pink, that would be good.
Are you protective of your bike?
Yeah, I’ve never had a bike stolen and I don’t want to. My other bike I won’t let my friends ride.

Ooh, make sure you check out the hipsters in their too tight thrift capri pants, mini-U-Lock in their back pocket, and their $1500 fixed gear.

I love this! wWe're gonna need better bike pictures though.

Also, don't pay attention to either of these fuckers who would have you believe that certain types of bikes cant be sexy, or that certain types of people should or shouldn't be featured. All types of bikes can be sexy, and as long as the person that comes with it, rides it, then rad. Who cares why they ride? The point is, that they do.

Did he have a sexy helmet too? Because otherwise his head won't look so sexy after it hits a windshield.
