Roll: Bikes
 
Anyone familiar with the roll: bicycle company of Columbus, Ohio? They have some interesting bikes, selling mostly direct to customer if you’re not in Columbus - although I imagine that even a small bike company can rack up a lot of sales just to Ohio State students. LOL.

Was not aware of that company. Interesting business model but what's with the small-case r and colon after roll? :D

Looks like another internet bike seller that makes a similar relatively low end product (certainly better than Wally-mart) with hipster/millennium marketing!

Do not want

I love their definition of building a 'custom' bike. You can pick the color of the bike, and you can pick the color of the components. I mean, that's all that matters, right?

It's a local bike shop with 3 locations. I haven't stopped in for a year or two, but they mostly carried Felt, Liv, and Giant. They always seemed a little pricey compared to other shops. I'm guessing this is something new they're doing.

I doubt many students are buying those bikes. Campus racks are filled with mostly big box store bikes. The university also has free bus service and a campus bike share which only costs students $36 annually.

That is nice they are a local shop too bad their bikes don't really show it.

From a bad memory: I think you mean a RollEasy. These were a lower end bike that was fine on flat ground but was the same more or less as the Schwinn of that period.
