By the way, the BP01 seems to have some kind of funny extruded frame. Be careful. It looks very cheap to me.

I'd be thinking of the BP02-3, or the BP02-07 with the nexus 7 speed.

The BP01 models have a hydraulic pressed frame I think if you look at the specs. It also seems to have a different front hub to mine.



I wonder how much they charge for a direct delivery to an end user? I'd love to see their price list.
The picture I have of the BP01 the top tube is welded to the seat tube and head tube. Only the tube is formed. That is to say it's not like the Kent. Everything else is separate and welded like the BP02. Also in the pictures I have of both models they have V brakes, not calipers. I think the front hub on the BP01 is a dynamo type, the BP02 has a tire driven generator.
I was quoted $150 to ship to me in the States.
