Four Sin Friday

lust, avarice, gluttony, envy = sweet bikes

My wife has indicated she might like to move away from her mountain bike and toward a more urban/commute friendly setup.

Looking at what it would take to transform her MTB into the same it is probably going to be a better idea to replace it. The frame is something like an 11" MTB frame with a very short wheelbase - no room for racks and not really given to an upright riding style.

Enter the Giant Suede Coasting DX rig. Pretty cool specs and cool looking:


Seems to have a similar auto-shift mechanism as the Trek Lime. If you added fenders and a rack to the Lime I'm guessing these would be fairly similar machines.
