This was the bike I learned to ride on and I love her! She has lots of get up and go and is so easy to maneuver. I am the second owner and have put 6500 miles of the 9500 miles on her. Tires are in great condition and both tires and brakes were replaced in 2015. It is hard to part with my sweet Violet but I just bought a bigger bike after 5 years of riding her. She is looking for a loving home!!
