My daughter eyed a 'cream' but settled on this bike. I think the bike 
she got was more comfortable than the cream. I heard there was a coffee 
around somewheres, but I never saw it.

The bike is definitely within the theme of the coffee / cream ones. One 
note - my daughter is fairly athletic. She sometimes runs 5 miles just 
to shake a few webs out. So maybe a person who is sedentary won't enjoy 
the coffee as much as she is enjoying her bike.
