Miss 'Purse', Kate Spade, now designing bikes

"Born in Italy, styled in New York

A handmade Italian steel frame painted in signature Kate Spade New York green. A classic English leather seat. A back-pedal coaster brake so you can sip an iced coffee while riding around town. And the incredibly chic chainguard, relaxed upright riding position, and low, sloping top tube means you can even ride in that flirty dress and heels. Summer doesn't get much better than this!"

I'm not into designer anything, but if it'll get more women out on bikes, it's a good thing.

Some girls probably would buy that bike...even though it's $1100, and only a single speed, with an un-sprung Brooks saddle. Here's a link to a thread featuring some affordable, European styled easy riding bikes: Beautiful, New, Affordable Bikes/bikeportland forums
