Wife saw this yesterday in Target. Crazy paint. And check out the kick stand. It's a center stand that folds to one side like a regular kickstand.

3 speed? How much was it?
WOW! That's a lot to take in at one time.... :roll: Looks like Laura Ashley and Martha Stewart had an acid trip all over it. :mrgreen:
I think that kickstand is made by Pletscher (or they make one that's very similar).

I have a Pletscher on my stretch cruiser and it works great. I like it much more than the y-shaped ones. That one looks like the MassLoad brand. Crazy looking bike.

ya it's a trip alright. I believe the price tag was $400. Maybe $499 (can't remember).
My wife liked the purple accents. I took that as a hint that I should use this winter to customize her plain off-white Target Schwinn I bought her.

I too spotted one at a Target here. Couldn't get close to check it out. Too many people milling around.
The one last year was reselling for ridiculous amounts on e-bay if I recall correctly. Missoni I think was the designer.

That's right, people bought it because of the Missoni name attached and the first few were flipped for good money, but when people learned they were not as rare as they thought they would be, the buying pool dried up. People only wanted the bike for the pattern and designer name, otherwise your run of the miss crappy bike. I saw one in the store and the skirt guards were thin plastic.

Hahaha! That's really funny.
I went into Target last night. I was curious if they had one there, But no luck. I looked at Prices of bikes at Target. Walmart has them beat big time on any bike they have. No Sale for Christmas that I saw.

Alright, it has started already, here is a Craigslist ad listing this bike for $715: http://richmond.craigslist.org/bik/3459014787.html
And here's the link to Target showing the $499 price. If these people actually flip these bikes and make a couple hundred on each one then more power to them, but if not they can return them for full refund, not much of a gamble if you can freeze up $500 for a while.
