I got a couple of shots of what looks like a prototype MEC bike at the weekend - caught it parked at Arbutus & 4th.

This is the second I've seen, the first was a women's design in a similar style. The details of the rear dropout are interesting - while this bike had V-brakes and a rear derailleur, this bike is pretty clearly set up to take an IGH and disk brakes (like a Swobo, only different.) Based on a label stuck on the bike, this is called a "Midtown".
