Mine bike is the Oma (on that very site)... the step through frame, which we regard in the states as a "ladies" model, is actually very popular for men because of the ease of mount / dismount. Being PERFECT for kilted riding is just a nice bonus.
And IMHO, a well-tended, well-broken-in Brooks saddle is the most comfortable in the world. Combine the step through frame, with a Brooks saddle and a kilt, and the ride is absolutely sublime. Be warned, though, the bike is not built for speed. It's the "tank" of its ilk. it is steady, strong and will serve its purpose forever with a minimum of care. I ride it in my kilt, in my business suit, and on rainy days, in a gore-tex equestrian duster that's perfect for this type of riding, too.
I also think its a beautiful, timeless design.
btw, Rex, if you are ever interested in one of those bikes, feel free to PM me with questions. I did a lot of research on the various suppliers.
