Well, those were entirely predictable. Bleriot II and Mixte Lite.

I'm sure no one notices or cares that the Bleriot II, I mean Sam Hillborne, has compact geometry. I'll go back and see if I can find the article where Grant rails against compact geometry. The same company in Taiwan that made the Bleriot (Maxway) is making this. Near as I can ascertain, this is the Bleriot Compact so fewer sizes need to be produced. Hopefully a brand re-boot will keep this from being treated as the 'budget Riv'.

The Mixte Lite, er Betty Foy, is probably a better idea, since the Wilbury and Glorious are astoundingly expensive for something that isn't custom steel, Italian steel, or custom Italian steel...or carbon fiber.

Generally, color me unimpressed.

Next up are the Simpleton (singlespeed) and Buffalo (Sugarfree Atlantis).
