Sometimes when things come full circle it's really kind of neat. In this case, I get to work with an icon and those of you who have been begging me to bring back a step-through bicycle get your wish.

We used to make a mixte called "Trixie", but meeting the production minimums was tough. Abandoning Trixie wasn't an option. Those of you who want this kind of bike are few but vocal, so I began looking for alternatives.

I needed a good custom builder. Someone who embraced frame geometry; who wasn't just a one-off builder. A production shop with the flexibility to handle out of the ordinary projects. A shop that could paint a bike in any darn color our customer wanted. And could do it in weeks, not months. And wouldn't it be nice to work with an American company to boot!

Enter icon Richard Schwinn, who started Waterford Cycles in the factory where the infamous Schwinn Paramount bicycles were built. I first met Richard at a bicycle industry trade show in the early 1990's and we talked about the possibility of Schwinn doing some building for us. And now it looks like we've reached that point.

This photo gives you an idea of how the frame looks. We can equip the bike with any style handlebar you like and any component group. And certainly any Terry saddle -- had our art director not been on vacation, we would have done so on the photo!

If you're a candidate for such a bike, send me an email and Iet's talk about it.

Tailwinds,
Georgena
