Gary Fisher Simple City 3

Gary Fisher Simple City 3 $599.99

If this won’t make you want to ride your bike to work, I don’t know what will.

Combine a sweet black frame, contrasting cream colored fenders, and a leather seat and hand grips… and you’ve got a bike that looks like it fell straight out of The Great Gatsby.

If… there was a bike in the Great Gatsby.  I don’t think F. Scott Fitzgerald even writes the word “bike” once in The Great GatsbyHow bout this:  It reminds me of a Jaguar E-Type Why… I don’t know.  But that’s never a bad thing.

Modern components, pavement loving skinny but not razor thin tires, and style that says “I’m going to work, but I can look damn good doing it” makes this one hell of a ride.

I can’t imagine it would handle well in the snow, so for those of you who bike to work 12 months a year… probably not the one for you.  BUT… you can always get this one for Spring, Summer, and Fall… and pick up some cheap well used mountain bike on craigslist for the winter months.
