A note about poses and avatar position:
I have taken every possible measure to make it possible to fit "most" avatars on the bike with the bike size adjustments, seat adjustments and avatar position adjustments. That being said, depending on your avatar, you may get close, but not perfect. Having the feet on the pedals AND being seated AND having hands on the handlebars is pretty difficult to pull off all at once with the infinite avatar possibilities. Please bear that in mind.
A demo of a bike is available on a rezzer at my Bay City Bike shop located here:

Very Real
This Bike is very real in sounds ,optik and handling , many settings for create ur own style. I love it , great fun . :)
this is the best bicycle in second life
hyperbolic as it sounds, i consider the above statement to be entirely factual & accurate.
i've tried a whole lot of bikes in sl, & while some of them can be pleasant enough to ride / fiddle around with, none of them approach the level of quality seen here.
first off, (and honestly of least importance to me) is the aesthetics. this has the appearance of a road bike from the late 70's to early 80's (complete with those terrible suicide brake extenders) the model is overall really good and has all the expected parts (the super anal retentive part of me could gripe about the suicide levers being in a position that would have them working even less than they usually would irl, (ie:not at all) and having what looks more like a chain tensoner than an actual rear derailleur on the back but that's just being silly - it looks great, overall.
customization is excellent. you can colour any part in any shade of any colour you could want. also the entire bike is resizable, the avatar position is customizable AND the seat raises and lowers to accommodate your butt in whatever position you go with. i was able to get my (fairly short) avatar to fit 100% perfectly. including having the pedals lock to my feet while pedaling, which is awesome.
for ride quality. it's very good! i might have set the speeds a bit father from one another and had a somewhat higher top speed, but that might end up causing problems with controlability, in the long run. it still cruises along quite well and seems to handle crossings as well as sl allows. i was surprised by it's climbing ability, too. steering is adjustable. i've only run it on the default setting, so far & it's fine.
one thing i kinda wished this bike did better was coast. when you stop peddling, regardless of speed, you come to a stop FAIRLY quickly. if the inertia had a slower drop off rate, it would make it even better.
all in all, it's unbeatable for the price (or significantly more)
