Vancouver-based bike-makers Jorg&Olif immediately had our attention earlier this year when they released their Original City Bike, a handmade, vintage-looking cycle based on the iconic cruisers every last man, woman, and child uses to zip around pancake-flat Amsterdam -- right down to the Dutch bell.

We loved the idea of modern gear combined with an old-European design sensibility; the $1000-and-up price tag was the only thing stopping us from trading in our beat-up wheels. News that J&O has just started shipping its new Scout bike, a pared-down version of their premium wheels at half the price, means just one thing: Sorry, old Schwinn. Your time is up.

Order J&O cycles through their website, and they'll ship to your local bike shop for final assembly.
