Cruisin For A Cruiser

The memory of this Montauk beauty stayed with me all the cold, long winter so last weekend Babe, Emma and I went cruisin for a cruiser at the Fenwick Bike Shop...

I dusted everyone at the door and within minutes had narrowed my selections down to this pale pink Hampton Deluxe number...

And, Babe's vote, the Hampton Brownie in white...

I've spent days waxing and waning between the two and, just when I think I've settled on the white, Lilly goes and throws a swanky wrench into the mix. Back to the cruisin board...

Whichever set of wheels I end up with will most definitely be sporting a Nantucket Bike Basket...

And, little Pilgie just may get lucky...

Kindness of poor Babe who was originally the one in the market for a bike. All I know is we left the house with that intention and came home with a bigger wish list for moi...XXOO

  1. So glad that Babe knows about this purchase because I'm just not sure you could hide a bicycle and then nonchalantly ride it through the living room with Pilgie in tow onto the street for a little jaunt in the summer rays. :-) Whatever you choose - can't go wrong as long as you have the basket :-) xoxo

  2. I just purchased the Trak-PURE Deluxe Lowstep in creamy yellow with a Nantucket basket. It is so comfortable, I could ride all day!
    I posted about it with a photo if you'd like to check it out.

    I highly recommend it.
    But how could you not go with Lilly or a bike namd after ones favorite summer spot. Show us which one gets to come home with you.

  3. See what trouble you can get into when you leave the house. I love both bikes. Do let us know about your "ride." I hope you get one of those license plates that reads - "Summer is a verb"

  5. I would simply DIE to have a turquoise cruiser with white walls and a fab wicker basket. I've been asking for one for two years. My hubs says I'll never ride it. Well...I might not. But how cute would it look in my garage!

  20. I love riding my beach cruiser while in FLorida, listening to the Ipod. It takes me back to my youth when riding a bicycle all over was such freedom. If you choose the Lilly , be sure to invest in a secure lock for it.
