Driggs 3 Speed Bicycle by Brooklyn Bicycle Co.
I can't wait to get on my bike and roll around town this summer. If I were in the market for a new bike, this would be the one I would want. It has a unique double top tube that makes everyone give it a second glance. That, plus the all leather grips, an internal hub, and carrier rack make this a steal of a bike at this price point.
