I never thought of classic Vespas as form over function. They're the purest distillation of function over form...
What the feck does that mean?!

Pashley Parabike or tuberider
Not bad but I tend to think a cruiser should have curves.I think I will buy this for £130 if the guy will meet me half way. I've spent more in the past on parts building up bikes. Think I could get a lot of use from it, on the canal towpath and cruising around Saltaire. Have a tan leather rucksack ready & waiting.........
