a big, heavy, expensive bike - for a big heavy girl I suppose.

Those wheels are just too bulky and its too much money for what you get. You are better of buying on old beater frame from the '60 with no gears and no hand breaking for less then 40 euro's including a lock thats 20 euro's. ( i love my old batavus flying dutchman ) This thing will just get stolen in any major city it looks way too nicehttp://ciclimonasteria.com/start/?page_id=132 it's this one... well the little bit more rusty version of it..
