This is about $100 more than I remember seeing them for in the bike shop. Do you think it would hurt his feelings if I told him I could head down to my nearest pawn shop and buy this same bike for less than $200?,,,,BD

Electra Straight Eight like new!

EDIT:
I just searched these, and the newest model comes with disc brakes, and MSRP is $1050??? Good luck. I guess some people would spend a grand on a single purpose cruiser bike, but there's no way they're getting that from me. To me a cruiser is worth $550 maximum, and it had better be damned nice for that kind of money. At $1050 I would expect it to at least have an electric motor, or something to make it worth that

. Regardless though, the one in question is from 10-12 years ago
