My co-worker sent this to me today, along with a note that I should be proud she thought of me when she read this. And I am. I guess you can take the kid outta New Jersey, but you can’t take the Jersey outta the kid.

Thanks to Bike Hugger, I’ve been tipped off to a new cruiser-ish bike from Masi called the Speciale Soulville. It’s a classic-lined everyday bike with a Shimano Nexis seven-speed internal hub, just like the Bianchi Milano I bought for Brenda. But unlike the Milano, this bad boy sports steel construction, cork hand grips, some very cool looking fenders, and Faliero Masi’s John Hancock right on the top tube. Imagine cruising in style around town on a Masi!

This is definitely one sweet bike. More pics and details here, in Masi Guy’s Announcement.
