Practical, comfortable, quick and handsome. The combination of elements we worked together to develop for this bike is just so well rounded. Integrated lighting, full coverage fenders, mini porteur front rack, low profile rear rack and big lightweight tires. No matter what I have planned for the day this bike works perfectly. Fast enough for big mileage, comfortable on any road surface and portage for anything from beach trips to camping. If I could have only one bike this would be it. Thanks again for all the care you put into these bicycles, the attention to detail makes them such a joy to use. Looking forward to ordering another!

Wow, thanks for the kind words. A lot of thought goes into these bikes and I always wonder what people will see. Thanks for checking it out!

I’m really digging the way this bike comes together down to the smallest details. Matching the base of the stem to the headtube ring to the barrel adjuster? The little extension on the back of the crown for the fender mount? The offset of the rear fender, being just so? Dialed man, dialed
