Linus bikes are in stock for 2011! Pictured above is their Roadster Classic single speed with a coaster brake, and we are also stocking the Roadster Sport, Dutchi 1, and Dutchi 3 as well. If you’ve been keeping an eye out for a clean looking, nicely functioning, durable city bike be sure to stop by and check these out soon. They’re difficult to keep in stock as it seems like everyone who looks at one, wants one!

Also new in the shop are racktop baskets hand made by John Cherry in New Hampshire. He’s been in and out of the shop a few times for input and feedback on his design. These baskets definitely show his concern as a craftsperson for getting it right. We have them available stained and unfinished, pre-drilled and with hardware for $54.95.

The hardware kit for these is too awesome not to share. It not only has strong steel bolts with nylock nuts, and steel pressure plates, but also foam-lined p-clamps for mounting the actual rack. It even includes a drill-bit for creating your own custom hole pattern in the basket bed. It’s pretty evident these are made to be used, not just to look nice (although they do that well too).
