Well, I searched... and no one's mentioned this bike yet:
It's a new bike, but it's styled after (depending on your opinion) constructeur bikes of the '50's. It's being shown at the Eurobike show by Electra, the company known for "feet-forward" cruisers and such. There's apparently going to be a couple versions, but I can see:
TA-style 6-arm crank
randonneur-style handlebar support
hammered aluminum fenders
cantilever or centerpull brakes
high-flange cassette hubs
platform pedals with toe clips
Anybody want to comment? Are "constructeur" bikes the new fixies?
