Just traded in my Lemond for one of these and I have no complaints. Love the Dutch-style, classic green paint, and the ease with which I can get around on this thing. Perfect for Brooklyn.
Though I have 4 bikes and one Sun EZ3 trike, there is none I own that I am more thrilled by the Cykel. The IGH 3 speed is a no maintenance, no frill, great looking nice bike. This is easily my go to bike. I'm a little surprised at it's rather light weight as Sun generally overdesigns and overkills its products. Nothing wrong with that just a sign that Sun really cares about its user. I am very pleased.
