I tell you guys I absolutely love this bike. Note the three counterweights in the back spokes, that's what causes the gears to shift automatically. Speed goes up, gears shift up. Slow down and it automatically gears down.
Heaven on two wheels I tell you.
Only trouble I fear I'm going to have is getting parts replaced when I eventually need to. From what I know of it this bike is no longer in production. I may have to try to buy another used one just to cannibalize it's parts. I would rather not go back to a regular manual shifter.
