I won a Priority Classic in a Christmas contest from
Two Wheeling Tots, see my review thread here:
http://www.bikeforums.net/commuting/...e-3-speed.html To me it seems about par for the money, not that I paid any!
The company is still small enough that emailing customer support gets a personal response, which is nice.
They are running another Kickstarter now for their latest model, which has a beach cruiser style frame and fenders.

I mentioned in another recent thread, in re: the difficulty of fixing flats, the tires on these bikes are really, really tough ones. I haven't figured out the model but they aren't "supple" in the slightest. The ride is still ok, there's plenty of other ways the bike is comfy.
