Bike: Seven Cycles Cafe Racer Travel Bike

One of my favorite bikes is back in the Ride Studio Cafe fold:  The Seven Cycles Cafe Racer single speed travel bike.

Here are some articles about the bike:

• Silent and Speedy by Constance Winters
• Belt Drive Fixie by Pamela Blalock

City Travel List:

• London, England
• Minneapolis, MN
• Friedrichshafen, Germany
• Stuttgart, Germany
• Boston, MA

Only 130 cities to go.

The coolest part of the bike is the Seven Tiberius handlebar.  Super narrow – for urban riding – and at just the right ergonomic angle for comfortable riding.

The S&S BTC couplers make traveling simple.  Because the bike is a grease and oil-less single speed – no gears – the breakdown and assembly couldn’t be much easier.

We designed the drivetrain for the Gates CenterTrack Carbon Drive.  Looks great; rides smooth.

My last favorite part of this bike is that it’s made from almost entirely re-purposed parts, including the couplers.
