Linus
Linus is a new company making an old kind of bike. We saw them first at the September 2009 Interbike trade show. They popped like a bowl of oatmeal in a skittles factory: soul-satisfying classic lines, decent city feature set, parts and build quality at fantastic prices. Just add lights and lock!
- Mix of cro-mo and hi-ten steel tubing, partially lugged; i.e., better than their historical models that have been rolling around for 40-60 years or so
- Shimano 3-speed internal hub gearing. Enough for the East side unless you’re hauling passengers, and all but the worst of the West.
- Tektro sidepull hand brakes
- Match-finished steel fenders. Class.
- Rear rack, pretty
- Kickstand, naturally
- Full or partial chain guard, ah
- Bell, charming
- Leather grips, really
- 1 or 2 sizes fit most, thanks to moderate to totally upright geometry
- Made in China, like 95% of new bikes sold in America today
