HYBRID/TRAIL BIKE/INTERNAL HUB 8 SPEED
Beautiful, brand new, unused, lightweight aluminium framed hybrid bike, with carbon fork and alloy steerer tube. Easy to ride with Shimano Alfine 8 speed internal hub gears (gears can be changed standing still and without pedalling). Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, with fittings for carriers, mudguards and bottle. Extremely low maintenance, easy to clean and very reliable. Gearing has been upgraded from 18 tooth to 25 tooth sprocket, lowering the gear range. Bottom gear is comparable to anything on a mountain bike, but still giving a top gear of mph without "spinning out". The original single speed chain has been upgraded to a Shimano Dura Ace chain, giving smoother gear changing. The stem has been upgraded, with the addition of ergon comfort handlebar grips plus quality carbon bar ends. 700 cc wheels, with quality rims and hubs. Vittorio voyager 35mm tyres (smooth on roads and good on trails). The bike has been fitted with spd pedals as shown (flat pedals complete with toe clips and straps available). Reason for sale - prefer dropped bar bikes - bought this bike on a whim - not taken it out. Read More
