Picture 1 was a short-lived Eureka moment, from Copacabana Bikes. Made of steel, and a steal at $94.99, not painted hot pink or banana yellow...then I saw the kickstand placement and wondered about the rear forks....Before ordering two right off the bat, thought I'd ask you folks if you know of good "step-thrus."

The second picture is sort of what I have in mind, from Amsterdam, found in Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step-through_frame
I want a cruiser, with lowered top tube, painted in neutral colors. Nobody I've checked has a reasonable priced model ($250 or less).
What the heck do old men ride in retirement villages???
Jack got a kit 8 months ago, had a small stroke and couldn't climb his stairs to the second floor. Now he's gone from 275 pounds to 240, can climb again, and all his vital signs work.
His bike ? A Workman "step thru" purchased for $2 (two dollars) with a tree growing through the forks. Not many of those laying around, and I have no patience for 8 week waiting for a bike.
I need two bikes, like YESTERDAY !!!
I want to sell bikes to tall old geezers, I know 5 off-hand who would buy, who can't lift a leg over my regular bikes, and I need MB.com assistance in finding suitable options.
I want new bikes that can be duplicated, not "one of a kind" heritage e-bay finds where every bike takes a new learning curve.
Forget Schwinn, forget Sun, I've looked.....
