I like the glowy! And the kitty! But it's probably horribly overpriced for a single speed city bike...

It's a really nice attempt to recycle a horrible design that was already addressed in this forum. I wouldn't pay 100 bucks on that bike.

I think 2007 version was 1300 and they expect 2008 model to be more. Kanye West seems to think it's cool... I'll pass too.

If I was at Puma/Nike/Reebok/Abercrombie/insert whoring sports brand name here and wanted to catch the urban market I'd do one of two things.
1) Import and badge engineer a cool minibike like the Kuwahara Gaap
2) Mass produce a hipster-friendly fixie road bike [like a Steamroller or Langster] that comes with matching clippy shoes and Freitag-style courier bag.
Hipsters would lap 'em up.

I'm with you LP. Just give away about 500 of those to some celebrities and get the right snapshots with them riding the bikes and the marketing campaign is done.
