Urban bike company, Brik Bikes of the Netherlands is introducing their new, Limited Edition Brik Cruiser, available in the US of A! What makes this bike unique, according to Brik Bikes, is the combination of the shaft drive, the special frame design, and the use of high quality, handmade components. Special Frame Design

The frame looks to be made of aluminum. With the super-low step-through frame, it looks both contemporary and different. We didn’t get any geometry numbers in the press release, but it looks to have very relaxed geo with a long-ish chainstay that, in combination, would give you a very stable and comfortable ride.
