...kind of in-secret, you gotta look deep in their entire product line to find what you want if what you want is the not-new thing.
Hey, I still ride my ol' 1968 Schwinn canary yellow Super Sport. I refuse to get anything newer because they have those nasty newfangled indexed shifters.
Oh, and those old rim brakes are great, I've never stopped too fast and flew over the handlebars and I never get tired of the constant adjusting. It makes me feel handy.
