Cooper, the British car company, which makes the Mini and was a highly successful race car company in the 1950s and 1960s, is launching a bicycle line.
According to British cycling Web site BikeRadar.com, four models are expected to be unveiled next week. Three of those are single-speeds named after Formula One races that Cooper cars won, Monza and Sebring. One is a limited edition and one is a five-speed.
All bikes will feature a flip-flop hub, which accepts both fixed cogs and freewheel. The bikes will also feature Brooks Saddles, Sturmey Archer Cranks, Reynolds Tubing and Tektro Brakes.
The Sebring would sell in the U.K. for 595 pounds, or $946 by today’s exchange rate.
