Vintage, late 90s steel hybrid bike by Georgena Terry, a true legend and pioneer in women's bikes. This bike, adorned with the bike's original flower decals, was treasured by it's previous owner, holding decades of stories of freedom and adventure, and comes with the original owner's manual. She entrusted us with it to ensure it's well-loved moving forward, so we put extra attention to detail into getting this one set up as a trusty daily rider. We'd like to keep this bike local, ensuring we can schedule a test ride and properly fit and adjust the bike to the next owner.
Summer lovingly restored this one - ultrasonic cleaning of all original components, replacing whatever was worn out, and adding embellishments such as colorful cable housing, brake pads and grips to match the flowers on the bike, and aesthetically and functionally considered accessories to make it a comfortable and highly functional daily-rider bike, with a high-end, well-preserved vintage leopard print Georgena Terry Butterfly saddle, MKS lambda pedals, full coverage fenders for rain, King Cage "Iris" water bottle cage, and era appropriate rack to carry your belongings. You might want to customize a few things but it's pretty kitted out already!
All of the bikes we sell are fully tuned up and come with a 30 day mechanical guarantee. If you're interested in test riding this one, feel free to schedule and appointment with Summer (weekdays) or Chris here!
Size
Good fit for someone about 5'3" to 5'5" or so, depending on proportions. It's a pretty upright bike, and the fit could be slightly adjusted by changing out the bars and/or stem.
By our usual standard of measurement it is a 41 cm frame (center of bottom bracket to center of top tube)
51 cm reach (top tube length)
29" standover height (we recommend about 1-2" of standover clearance for a comfortable fit)
Drivetrain
3x8 speed with a great range for climbing Seattle hills.
Shimano A derailleurs, trigger shifters and triple crankset.
The entire drivetrain is original to the bike aside from the 8 speed cassette which is newly replaced. If anything were to be upgraded, shifters of your choice could be a worthwhile investment.
Wheels, tires
26in Sunrims aluminum rim brake wheelset with silver Shimano Parallax quick-release hubs.
26x1.74in hybrid tires with high visibility reflective sidewlal tape to keep you safe.
We also added high visibility spoke reflectors for extra safety with a streamlined look.
Handlebar, stem, saddle, headset, seatpost
Handlebar: silver cruiser handlebar with about a 45 degree sweep
Stem: Original Georgena Terry quill stem, silver
Grips: Purple Oury grips, new
Saddle: well-preserved vintage Georgena Terry Butterfly saddle with titanium rails. Leopard print with an embroidered yellow butterfly on the back. Same saddle the original owner had, but in great condition (the old one was beat so we found the same one to replace it with :)
Seatpost: original silver seatpost, with bolt on seatpost for extra security.
Headset: original black headset, still in good shape.
Brakes
Shimano A Silver Linear Pull V-brakes and matching brake levers with new pink brake pads and yellow Jagwire cable housing to match the flower decals on the frame.
Frameset
Steel frameset built for 26 inch wheels and a hefty tire clearance for cushy tires and/or fenders. A shimmery blue paint job with pink, purple and yellow flower decals all over the frame and fork. Paint and decals are in pretty good condition, but with some scuffs and minor chips from normal wear. No structural damage to the frame.
