[Leica] Real True Beauty ! ! !

[summarex at hotmail.com (Javier Perez)]

Thanks Bob.

Glad to be of service!

But it's actually very dark blue. Only the fork is black.

I had a brown Ross 3 speed kid's cruiser type bike when I was a kid. 

Unfortunately I never really liked it much. I wanted the Apollo!
