The City
A truly exceptionally made commuting or touring bike made from butted CroMo tubing.
The City has a steel frame, disc brakes and a choice of Shimano or Rohloff hub gears. The perfect combination for a reliable, low maintenance town bike that will last for years. It comes with a Tubus Fly rack painted to match the frame color and with hydraulic disc brakes and Schwalbe Durano 28mm tyres as standard.
The bike comes as standard with a Tubus Fly rear rack, which is the lightest and most minimal steel rack that Tubus make, integrated into the mudguards and painted to match the frame. The mudguards are Curana C-Lite with a black aluminium finish. Chain tensioning is catered for by an eccentric bottom bracket and the frame separates around the rear dropout to fit a Gates belt drive.
Using a gear hub means you get low maintanance and perfect shifting in all conditions, and you have the option of either standard chain drive or the Gates Carbon Drive® CDX belt for smooth long lasting reliability. Enclosed gear and brake cables with sealed end caps reduce the risk of the cables freezing. With the hydraulic discs braking is also excellent at low temperatures and in the wet.
For the ultimate commuting bike we suggest one of the high quality dynamo systems for brilliant lighting in poor weather and the option of The Plug - a charger for all your electronic devices hidden discreetly in the handlebar stem.
If you want the same bike with drop bars its the City GT.
