Venice Beach manufacturer LINUS uses French and Italian bicycle designs of the 1950s and ’60s as inspiration for their simple and dependable city bikes. As bike culture grows evermore from LA to Portland and Denver to NYC, new companies seem to crop up everywhere, but few have put as much thought and personality into the creation of their urban friendly, affordable bikes as LINUS does. Their Roadster Classic may not look like much but it packs a bunch. Thanks to a durable Hi Tensile steel frame with Chromoly down tube, double wall alloy rims with stainless steel spokes and genuine leather grips, LINUS elevates joyriding to a whole new elegant level. The Roadster Classic is available in three different colors: Metallic Blue, Cream and black, and is available in two frame sizes: Medium (51cm/20″) and Large (59cm/23″). But several other styles — and plenty of quality accessories and add-ons (custom fenders, beautiful Brooks leather seats, brass bells, woven baskets, retro chrome lights, etc) — can be purchased to individualize your LINUS exactly how you see fit. Pick one up for $400 at a dealer near you across the United States..
