One more is the correct answer.I might have blown a bit of the wad saved for the Pugsley on an old three speed.
It is a very pretty bike, and uses 650b tires. Which makes an interesting change from the 27x1 3/8 that Frenchie runs on. I don't know if it is the gear ratio or the size of the tires but this bike is very spirited.
The new bike came with a cheap plastic seat on it, which worked alright for about 3 miles, at which point it cocked back and tried to throw me off the back of the bicycle.
When I switched Frenchie over to a Brooks saddle, I saved the Serfas seat for a rainy day. The Serfas seat cost a small fortune and still had some life left in it, though it wasn't comfortable as it really should have been which is why I switched. While a leather seat might sound intimidating at first, and before I finished breaking it in I would have agreed, I will never buy another that is not leather.
For now, I'll use the Serfas because it is still better than a block of plastic.
