After watching this video, my only question: Do the bikes ship with a case of beer? Because if not, they should.

Hilarious video. Looks fun too.
Check out the Dirt Rag facebook page, Steve Garro posted a pic of a bike he built way back in 2004 that is dang near identical, colors and all. The Coconino looks better tho, no weird bend in the upper top tube
Reminds me of when I first started. I still have that first generation bike from years ago. The only difference is that the tires are MUCH better now, and I actually had 21 gears.
Here it is listed for sale at less than $200:

One interesting bike, but definitely not my style. There’s no way I would survive riding on trails without a front brake!
When I was a kid i rode my huffy w/ banana seat (looking for these to come back) on trails ’til the frame broke on a jump. Video reminded me of it but they got more air. Don’t know if I would like to go back to a coaster brake.
This is much more of a jump/fun bike than a XC bike, it’s not really made for going out and covering miles of trails.
IDK, it’s not really made for jumps either, just sayin’! Doesn’t sound like it’s made to actually be GOOD at anything, haha!
It’d be a fun commuter on a college campus! Sort of a mix between BMX/MTB
Agreed on the commuter, dgaddis!
A coaster brake just doesn’t sounds all that good on anything but the greenest of trails…well, at least for me. They seemed to handle it alright!
I like this bike. It reminds me of my first real non-hand me down bike in the 60′s. What a hoot that would have been having Kendas. Back then, all you could get was a wider thick street tire that did about half arse on dirt.)
