Picked it up in the east village and drove it home to Staten Island. In person, this bike has all the classic looks. It's like pulling out an old muscle car to parade around in. It drives smooth and you feel like you own the road. Very Happy with my purchase. Would like to know how old it is. It's scuffed up and beat up in the right places. Giving it major character, but in a classy way. The guy I bought it from made me take a picture of him posing with his wife and newborn baby infront of their apartment. I can tell he loved the bike and it was a big part of his life. I fell in love with the coffee on the drive home. Does anyone know the years of production of these models?

Simple bike, very stylin' and so easy to ride and go! i have not had a bike since I was 14 and was actually really cautious about buying one as I have gained so much weight since then I was worried of teetering and tottering, especially in a Mountain bike, as it is so rough. This bike is so much fun and so cool, I can't believe I have not bought one sooner! Just got my Coffee today and I am in love. Simple bike, very stylin’ and so easy to ride and go!

Extra 20% off if you add it to your cart. That dropped the price down to 191. Picked it up at a performance store in MD. Now I'm looking for a Cream at that price.

I rides nice and its comfy. I has everything you need to keep you dry and clean (fenders, chain guard). I like the freewheel and hand brake-I feel more in control than using a coaster brake. This is a great bike for multiple users because its so simple to maintain and one size fits all. Its very retro-stylish and very Portland. The only thing I would add is a cup-holder.

I can't find it for sale in the Mobile, AL or Slidell, LA area. I can find the single speed for sale, but I want the three speed since I will be using it for college.

Outstanding bike, comfortable and sturdy, though I am not a fan of the coaster brake. Seems redundant. Rides well, and I put a wicker basket up front, so it looks like it should be on Martha's Vineyard instead of the streets of New Haven. Great pick.
