The wife got her Betty Foy a couple months ago.

I've had Riv-envy ever since.

My Hilsen arrived yesterday. I got it put together enough to ride to the park with the kids today. The pics of me on the bike were taken by my 4-year old daughter.

One of your captions says:

"I was too eager to ride it to bother with installing the fenders."

I can top that... :-) I was also eager to ride mine. Unfortunately not all of the parts had arrived yet, so I'd put in the stem, brakes, handlebars, but that's all I had, so I stole a steatpost & big mushy women's saddle from another bike, and wheels from yet another, and walked to to the top of my street and coasted down repeatedly... :-)

BTW... nice bikes. Are the apples a stock detail, or are they "aftermarket"?

The photog did a good job. Bikes look so nice before we clutter them
up with the racks'n'packs'n'fenders that make the bike so useful. The
small Saddlesack looks a nice size.
