Is the lime green bike in your Day 1 dump photos (the first one) a Linus bike as well?

Do they have vendors lined up? I didn’t see any info on their website about how you would go about buying one of these models.

Nate – actually, hi-ten steel is extremely durable.

I like the look. The tubing diameter is not oversized. It has a relatively decent price too. I should add a coaster brake bike to my collection for kicks. With that said however this bike still falls short in so many ways. With $250 or less you could build up a coaster brake vintage Peugeot, Raleigh, or variety of old Lugged frames. Preferably one that had cable clamps and take em off for a clean look. That would have some soul power!

Cause this got no soul power.

Tilt the handlebars down a bit at the back and the hands will fit better.

I like the idea of their line-up, but all their frames are hi-ten steel! I love cycling, but I have owned a few hi-ten framed bikes and they do not have the longevity of a chromoly frame. The hi-ten keeps the price down, I understand that, but people will not be happy when their frames start breaking somewhere down the line.
