I know I don't look very happy - maybe I was woken up too early. Or maybe I hated having my picture taken even at such a young age. But, really, I promise, I was absolutely thrilled with this bike! I especially loved the hot pink sparkly banana seat!! I thought I was 10 when I got this bike for Christmas, but according to the date on the picture, I was 6. Notice the long, red, shag carpeting. We had a lovely, Spanish-style home with a beautiful arched fireplace in the living room. After my mom vacuumed and raked the carpet, we weren't allowed in the living room for days! Also, see the stereo console in the background - I would LOVE to have one of those in my house. With gold speaker fabric instead of red, of course.
