Cool site

The Trek Lime - http://www2.trekbikes.com/lime/ (maybe they should've called
it the iBike).

Giant has the "Suede Coasting" & "Suede DX Coasting" using the same
electronic 3 speed auto hub with hub dyno & coaster brake.

Raleigh has a version on a very groovy retro looking cruiser frame with
"Leather-Like Grips, a Saddle w/ Classic Rear Coil Springs and a Front
Loop".

Are any of these likely to make it here? They're all so cool, albeit a
little pricey for the kind of thing you'd mainly use to go to the shops and
have to leave unattended somewhere...


Taken from another group -

"The new Shimano "Coasting" group, with electronic automatic shifting.
Giant, Raleigh and Trek are already "on board".

Here's a link to the Raleigh version:

Unlikely, since many more Australians than Americans still prefer
to change their own gears in their cars. I gather auto bike shifting is
designed to appeal to American drivers, most of whom don't know what a
gear is or why you'd want more than one.
