Wow, yeah, that Priority looks like the bee's knees. You could outfit that with a rack, fenders, both U-lock and cable locks, and a pair of Ortlieb Back Rollers before even touching the price of one of the Linus bikes. The foot brake might take some getting used to but, damn, that's a nice price for a belt drive.

Edit: Ah, nm, you're probably looking at the Dutch 1, which is much more comparable in price (and features). Still, I like the allure of the belt drive.
