Until a few days ago, when one appeared on the local craigslist, I had never heard of a Realm bike. Now I have this one...

The seller told me that it was bought new in California and brought to western NC. It has a lot of scratches and scuffs in the paint, so I might repaint it. I found some pics on the 'net of two-tone paint jobs on them , so I might go with red & cream or orange & cream.We"ll see.
 
I have had at least 10 of these in as many years, bought to resell. Always do well with them. I always like the fenders for sure. The original tires had little surfboards for tread, lol.
 
It rides nice. Love springer fronts. I might change to a 1 or 2 tooth bigger gear in the rear though. The rims both have stickers with 2008 on them.
