Hey Bob,

That's a beautiful bike. At a beautiful price. But here's a cautionary tale. Last year I gave my old friend Al, an new/old mixte that I bought in the early seventies for my last former wife. (She never rode it.) Al is 84 years old and has Parkinson's. Balance problems have made it difficult for him to throw his leg over the saddle, but stepping through works for him. Here's the warning part. The first time Al rode the bike, he was stopped by a police officer. It seems someone had reported seeing an elderly man "fleeing the scene" riding an obviously stolen "girls bicycle."
