"Cafe 8 Deluxe" from Felt Bicycles. I don't really know what all the technical aspects actually mean relative to how the thing rides, but God DAMN is that a sexy ride. Gorgeous blue, leather look-a-like saddle and grips, simple 8 speed, a goddamn CUP HOLDER.
And it still only costs as much as MAYBE four months of car insurance. And since we've proved that you CAN carry a pretty lady around on a rear rack, WELL. I think it's clear which is the ultimate mode of transportation here :P
Related note to the cup holder. The Coffee Era begins. I was unusually stressed about school - behind on practicing, more so than usual with homework, and quite frankly close to freaking out. Then I realized that the reason why I didn't have the time to get all my stuff done was because I was going to bed at a reasonable hour. Seriously, how was I expecting to get things done if I was going to bed at 11 every night?
So anyway, the last two I've up until 2:30 AM and then up again around 8:30. Homework's being done, practicing's being accomplished, and I'm spending the rest of this morning hunting down a cup holder for my ride and a good travel mug. To quote Don McKay, "the coffee is real and powers the economy."
Although, I do suppose that a cup holder isn't completely necessary...
