    Bike Tires Direct in Portland has several brand new Faraday bikes.

    In case anyone is looking for a Faraday, I noticed that this shop has at least 6 of them, mostly step thru, but not all. They also have some racks for them. They will ship. I have used this shop for 12 years, and they are very reputable. biketiresdirect.com.
