all i'm saying is that it's gunna be hard to sell anything with advertising like that. perhaps you could stop putting words in people's mouths.

The people who helped me with this project have are some of the best steel bike frame manufacuters in the world and have been in the bike industry for years. At interbike I found four booths that had their frames and there were probably several more that I didn't notice. So no, I am not a bike expert, but the people backing me are.

That's a bold claim. Make some more videos to qualify and quantify said claim.

Best of luck to you, man...
If you knock a hundred bucks off the price and include the front brake, you stand a serious chance of getting this product into Walmart or some other big box-type stores...Also, I'd swap out the chainring for something like a 44 tooth in an effort to keep the inexperienced rider in a speed range that the coaster brake can handle...
I think this bike is a better product than battery powered motor assisted bikes that are powered using nuclear energy by proxy...
You won't have much of a chance of getting these into IBD's until you learn a bit about the basic names of bike components as well as the names of the procedures involved in installing said components...

i'm telling you dude, you need to rethink how you are marketing this bike. come up with a company name, then sell the bike from there. notice how bianchi sells the pista, iro sells the mark v, leader sells 721TR, etc. the osobike sounds like something i can buy on t.v. for five easy payments of $59.99.
