I'm really stuck here, Aubrey asked for one of these 2 bikes.
She spent a lot of time looking for a bike she liked so I dont' really want to get her something different.

Madwagon Vixen


or the

Felt Mariposa


I've called every dealer in a 2hr radius looking for these 2 bikes and I've come up totally DRY!!

Does anybody have any suggestions?

go further than the 2 hours. Make a day trip out of it... have dinner at some fancy place on the way to/near the dealer, visit a museum (or whatever you two like to do).

Can you buy it online?

No one in the city deals them??
Neither dealer allows retails to sell online or so it seems.

I don't want to go to NYC if I can avoid it.

did you do a dealer search on the Felt web site for the pink one?

I like the white one better though, but it isn't for me now is it.
Like I said, I called all the dealers in a 2hr radius.

Could it get any better than that??? A lot of good things can happen during a 5 hour drive.
Good point.

Well I guess I'll try to make some more calls tomorrow.

Call the shop, buy it over the phone and have them ship it to you. I did that with my son's bike because there wasn't one near me. They just said the warrenty would be voild on it. But hell, it's a cruiser, how bad could it be to fix?

Agreed, I could call the million shops in Cali hoping one would have it but I haven't gotten to THAT point yet.

It's NYC for chistsakes, a place where you can get Etheopian take-out and a hand job at 4 a.m. I'm sure you can find a place that stocks that bike.

I picked up a sweet Fuji cruiser at one of my LBS's.

I can not for the life of me find a pic of it on the internet.
