Schwinn Cutter...anyone heard of it?

I haven't ever heard of this bike before but I just read about it on a local bike shops website. Says that it has an MSRP of $299 and they have them in stock. It doesn't look like a high quality bike but I just thought I would throw some pictures up here. I know some people are looking for cheap single speeds and if this makes it out to other shops it could be an option.

But I didn't think Schwinn made the little 500 bikes for general sale?

Yup, coaster brakes have an external arm that braces the hub against the frame for braking. One of the bikes in the pics is actually a Madison, and the "Cutter" also has a non-coaster hub (looks like it's setup freewheel).

thtat bike doesn't look better than the Hour since it looks like it has some sort of one piece crank, which IMO is garbage.
