As Brewster Fong stated, Islabikes still offer their traditional series. I just got a Beinn 26 for my son after reading about it on Bicycle Quarterly and was quite impressed with its functionality and quality. It's a solid and simple bike, which is just right for my son who's not terribly interested in bikes, except as a tool to get to his friends'. I originally wanted to get a Clem for my son, but even the smallest Clem is a bit too big.
