The Same Bike?

Howdy, just in between Sunday rides, lettin' her cool down awhile.

I've been thinking about my next build, and want to do a shifter kit with a NuVinci hub. I found a bike made by Kent, and branded by Cadillac with a NuVinci Hub: Cadillac Fleetwood Cruiser Bike with Seamless NuVinci Shifting: A Bike Store Quality Bicycles

Really Nice; but I'm not paying $600 for a bike made by KENT! But wait a minute...there's another bike that looks just like the Fleetwood: Northwoods Ridgedale Beach Cruiser Bike Single Speed: A Bike Store Quality Bicycles

So what's up with that? I've also noticed other Cruisers made by different companies (Micargi, Greenline, Firmstrong) that all look like they use the SAME frame. It makes me wonder

I sure do like the style of this bike, and would spring for the Northwoods Ridgedale if I could put a NuVinci Setup on this bike and a set of brakes.

Where do I get a (Good, Great, Smokin') deal on a NuVinci Hub? could I just slap one on a beach cruiser that was originally intended as a single-speed?
I'm selling one of my favorite hunting rifles to build the next one, so I want to spend carefully.

I have become obsessive-compulsive about these MB's.....Thanks alot guys!

Be careful my friend, they All look good sitting still.

Yeah, no kidding huh? That gives me an idea: I'm going test riding this week!

The difference is all in the hub. Here is a reputable parts store selling the hub for $403.00 Universal Cycles - NuVinci CVP Rear Hub
David Staton at Staton-Inc motorized bicycles, bike kits & gear drive kits. is selling for about 25 dollars less.
