Can you post anyways? I am pretty sure they are not more boring than what I got going on now.

I have about 300 photos from the show that I have to resize and sort. I'll post them when I can.

Best of luck to you, man...
If you knock a hundred bucks off the price and include the front brake, you stand a serious chance of getting this product into Walmart or some other big box-type stores...Also, I'd swap out the chainring for something like a 44 tooth in an effort to keep the inexperienced rider in a speed range that the coaster brake can handle...
I think this bike is a better product than battery powered motor assisted bikes that are powered using nuclear energy by proxy...
You won't have much of a chance of getting these into IBD's until you learn a bit about the basic names of bike components as well as the names of the procedures involved in installing said components...

That youtube video of the Oso bike owner is so creepy. I would never let that dude near my kid, or my bike.

Those pictures above from TheRobbStory are really well done.
I just posted a roundup of track and fixed specific parts I managed to get pictures of up at the home base. There's even a DW sporting Cane Creek wheels in there for the haters.

"I like the tires and the wheels on this bike..."
"safety mechanisms so your chain won't loosen up..."
tear drop shaped bars? Tubes? wtf?
Expert cyclist turns bike maker and loses the savvy? First time rider decides to cash in on the craze and maybe strike a deal with t. boone pickens in the near future...

Did you look at the specs page? These are definatly not Walmart Components. Have you ridden the bike to check its quality first hand? If you were to buy this same bike in a bike store it would cost at least $100 more.
