Yeah, I know...but a lugged steel frame, shimano 3 speed, solid looking rack, and fenders...the only problem is that it's $500, and you can grab a Schwinn Coffee for $200 less...

Or you could get an old Varsity for tens of dollars.

Exactly. Why clog landfills w/ the SOS when they could be clogging them w/ innovative and exciting new sh*t.

And if you buy two Africa bikes, Kona donates one to Biketown Africa.

How come these brand new bikes have "vintage" pedals? Am I being OCD (Old Cranky Dodger)?

it's easy if you let it.
Why do people need a specific new bike for buying coffee? This fashion-accessory fetishization of bikes (here's my bike for going to the bike store; here's my bike for going to the drugstore; here's my bike for going to the post office) is tiresome. Do you have different pairs of shoes for each errand you run?

I just found it and was interested - I'm more interested in using my two C&V three speeders than buying a new one for that, but hey, whatever turns your crank.

It's the right idea. Except for the fact that at this very moment in any city on craigslist you can buy any number of wonderful old Schwinns and Raleigh 3 speeds in great shape for the prices in the mid to high 2 digits.
That bike isnt' any better and is asking to be stolen.

Or there's this, although, I'm not sure what it is.
