Fuji Gran Fondo endurance road bikes

Fuji Gran Fondo 1.3

Endurance-geometry road bikes are racing bikes for the rest of us.

Bikes like the Fuji Gran Fondo weigh-in like a pro’s racing bike, handle like a pro bike, climb and sprint like a pro bike, but are much more comfortable than a pro’s bike. With a taller front-end, greater tire clearance and a slightly longer wheelbase these bikes won’t require you to adopt the low racer position on your bike. You’re able to fit wider, more puncture-proof tires on your bike and you can pay more attention to your surroundings and less attention to the few feet of pavement in front of your front tire.

Gran Fondo 1.1

Road vibration reduction is the name of the game with this style of bike. For years Specialized had you believe that a 1/2″ piece of rubber glued into the seat stays of their Roubaix model did this trick yet in 2018 they quietly abandoned the ruse. Trek designed a seat post that sways back and forth (and added $400 in design elements and material to each model) for their pricey Domane. Fuji just added a polyurethane-treated fiber layer in the middle of their carbon lay-up. A simple technique that really reduces vibration traveling through the bike without adding hundreds of dollars to the final price tag.

Whether it’s your first race, the Seattle-to-Portland ride, your daily commute or your weekly ride around lake Washington, the Gran Fondo series will do just the trick.

Removable fender mounts

All of the Gran Fondo models have great features like compact gear ratios, complete Shimano or Sram component groups (not mix & match), internal cable runs, Vittoria tires and Oval Concepts cockpit components.
All of the bikes have hidden accessory eyelets that make rack and fenders mount cleanly and easily (and don’t disturb the bike’s beautiful lines if you don’t need them).
These bikes are strong, light, comfortable and fast without killing your budget. Available with foul-weather-ready disc-brakes or extra light rim-brakes. There are options and component levels that give you 5 models to choose from between $1600 and $8000.

Davidson Impulse road bike

1990’s Davidson Impulse

This might be the bike you’ve been waiting twenty years to own.

A Bill Davidson handcrafted steel bike. Made in Seattle, with a paint job straight out of a Miami Vice episode. Bill is a big name in the American custom bicycle world. The frame contains dozens of thoughtful design elements, like the Campagnolo dropouts joined to Tange Prestige steel tubing. There’s a chain hook on the seatstay and a pump peg on the steerer tube. The rear brake cable runs inside the top tube, and there are diamond-shaped reinforcements around the bottle cage mounts. Anyway, Beautiful work. Brand new… In probably 1993.

Matching Silca pump

Modolo bars, Shimano Dura-Ace stem

Mavic Helium wheels

The components are mostly new-condition Dura-Ace 7403. You get the slightly more modern Dura-Ace 7700 brake calipers, The slightly older Dura-Ace seatpost and the timeless Dura-Ace handlebar stem with the single hidden entry point for tightening the quill and the bar clamp. The red wheels are the iconic 1990’s Mavic Helium clinchers with Michelin Pro tires.

This is a 56cm size, and it will fit a 5’8” to 5’10” tall rider who prizes comfort, performance and getting the bike they always wanted (even if it’s a decade or two late). Only $1999.

Bianchi Impulso Allroad

Allroad GRX800

You can call it a gravel bike, but this one is for roadways and trails made of asphalt, gravel, cobblestones, dirt, wooden boards, bricks or cement.

The 40mm wide tires will feel stable and squishy (yet still pretty fast) regardless of the road surface. The wide but shallow drop bars should make you feel comfortable and in control wherever you roll, and the Shimano GRX components should work well enough that you forget about the parts on your bike and just enjoy the ride.

The not-celeste color option

The whole “gravel bike” thing might seem like the bike fad of the month, but it’s not. Gravel bikes really are what we’ve always wanted: One bike that does everything really well. It’ll go fast when you feel like going fast. You can ride these bikes safely and comfortably no matter the surface, terrain or traffic. You can carry a lot of stuff with you or leave it all behind.

Speaking of stuff, If you want this bike for commuting or long-distance touring, it’ll be easy to set this one up the way you want it. Bottle cages, fenders and racks fit just fine (in fact there are hidden holes where the fender struts slide in and secure).

Seven Resolute steel road bike

Used Seven with Sram Red $1750

This Seven road bike is a prize that Logan Owen was awarded when he won his race at Star-Crossed cyclocross a number of years back. It’s a new Seven Resolute steel frame and it hadn’t been put together until just recently. Logan decided to outfit it with the Sram Red drivetrain, a Zipp crankset, FSA handlebars and stem, new Fulcrum wheels, a Selle Italia saddle and Vittoria Corsa tires.

This is a 56cm size, good for a rider between 5’8” and 5’11” tall. $1750.

Used Colnago steel road bike

Used Colnago $1499

Want a Colnago road bike but don’t want to walk all the way to Italy to get one? You can walk into our shop and roll out with one now.

This frame was a trade-in. It was made in the mid ’90′s of Columbus cromoly steel tubing, and it will fit a rider in the 5’8″ to 5’11″ height range quite well.

We built the bike with a mix of Campagnolo Chorus, Centaur and Record equipment, it has hand built wheels made from Mavic CXP21 rims and Campy hubs. An FSA carbon seatpost holds up the Selle San Marco Regal saddle and you get a Cinelli carbon stem securing the handlebar. While it looks like a bit of a vintage ride, the materials and design are quite modern.

Cockpit details

Campagnolo components

San Marco Regal saddle

You get a threadless fork and headset (that look old-fashioned) gearing that is pretty easy on the hills, and with all of the carbon fiber bits and pieces the bike end up weighing only 18 pounds. Oh, and it will only set you back $1500.

Bianchi Aria E-Road

Bianchi Aria E-Road

This bike is actually a time machine.

It doesn’t go into the future but the Aria E-Road will transport you backwards in time by twenty years.

Remember how fast you were twenty years ago? Remember taking on 60-mile rides, not having touched your bike in the preceding two weeks? Remember being able to do lots of random activities on a Sunday afternoon (without complaining about your knees) even though you did 45 fast miles in the morning? If you enjoyed riding a road bike back then, throw a leg over the Aria and hit the button on the top tube so you can relive the experience.

How does Bianchi do it? They put a 250-watt Mahle hub motor on the bike and stuff a bunch of batteries inside the Italian-made carbon fiber aero frame. They outfit the bike with Vittoria tires, Shimano Ultegra components including hydraulic disc brakes (we didn’t have those twenty years ago!), Vision aero wheels and cockpit components made by FSA.

Assist level indicator and state of charge in one button

Charging port

Fairly discrete 250 watt motor

The system can be operated simply with the single button on the top tube (toggle through low, medium and high settings with a colored LED to show state of charge) or the motor can be controlled via an app on your phone or Garmin computer. You can customize the assist system, providing a little bit of help or a lot. You can even program it by doctor’s orders: setting the motor to kick in whenever your heart rate reaches a certain threshold.

This is a fun bike. It isn’t a 65-pound moped with wheelbarrow tires. This is a high-performance road bike that rides well with or without the motor turned on. It handles great, looks like a bike should look and only weighs 25 pounds.

Note: Not recommended for riders under the age of thirty as twenty years of time travel might actually require the use of a tricycle or training wheels.

Used Colnago C50

2003 Colnago C50

We actually have a pre-owned Colnago C50 right now.  No kidding.

A bike that we have described as being “the best ever made” and someone traded it in?

Well, sometimes you just have too many bikes in the garage.

So this is a 54cm frame size bike from 2003 or 2004.

The hand-built Italian carbon fiber frame is outfitted with a Dura-Ace 7800 component group which comes with a new cassette, chainrings and chain as well as the must-have wheelset during the Armstrong years, Mavic Ksyriums.

Front end detail

FSA wing bar

Dura-Ace 7800

So you get new condition clincher wheels (with Continental tires that are still pretty fresh), a green Chris King headset, an FSA carbon fiber handlebar (42cm) and a Thomson seatpost.

Dura-Ace calipers

Back end

This 54cm bike fits a rider between 5’7” and 5’9” the best. It comes with a full year warranty from Classic Cycle, and a personal lifetime guarantee that it’s awesome.

The bike weighs in at 15 pounds, and it’s all yours for $2900 (that’s about $5000 less than what this puppy would have cost brand new).

2001 Klein Quantum Pro road bike

Klein Quantum Pro $899

This is a 2001 Klein Quantum Pro that probably has about two hundred miles on it.  It’s equipped with Shimano Ultegra equipment, platform pedals (or SPD pedals, your choice) and light Bontrager Race aerodynamic wheels.  The frame is made out of butted aluminum tubing and features a carbon fiber fork and a Thompson seatpost. It originally rolled out the door for about $1800.

It’s a steal at $899.  A nice size for a cyclist between 5′ and 5’5″ tall.

Marin Four Corners

Marin Four Corners

“Four Corners” as in the middle of the American west where Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada come together. Buy this bike and plan a tour there yourself. It’s a versatile touring bike, and I’d bet a tour of that length would be enjoyable whether you rode along the paved shoulders of secondary highways, along the Great Divide trail or rumbling down gravel roads.

This is a great bike for century rides on the pavement, gran Fondos and gravel rides, long commutes, and just regular road or off-road rides with your friends.

This is a bike designed perfectly for the vast majority of Pacific Northwest riders.

If you can get over your whole “I might need a bike for a triathlon someday” delusion, this is the bike for you. Fenders, bags and cromoly tubing may not be very aerodynamic, but they sure make your bike ride a pleasant experience.

This bike has loaded-touring frame geometry with a slightly longer wheelbase and slack front end geometry, meaning that it’s a gravel bike with touring geometry that has been tweaked just a bit. The bike is comfortable for really long rides, and it will carry all of your gear without being too squirrely. The tires are 700c x 42mm wide and 650b x 57mm (2.1” mountain bike tires) will fit if you’re planning on more rugged use. The frame is made out of cromoly steel, which delivers a springy, compliant ride quality.

The Four Corners has everything you want. It comes with mounts for 5 water bottles as well as racks & fenders, it has a triple crankset (pretty awesome in an era with so many single front chainring bikes), a WTB Volt saddle, Shimano Tiagra components and TRP cable-actuated disc brakes. All for around $1100.

Marin Nicasio

Marin Nicasio

Steel is real.

That’s what everybody says, steel is real. Really comfortable, really affordable, really smooth riding and classic looking.

The Marin Nicasio has a steel frame and fork and it may just be your next favorite bike. The Nicasio is outfitted with a Shimano Claris drivetrain, Promax mechanical disc brakes, durable 32-spoke wheels and 30mm puncture resistant (but still nice riding) tires. It has a familiar smooth ride that reminds us of road bikes from the 1980′s. Actually, the price reminds us of the ’80′s too. It’s under $800.

Bicycling magazine named the Nicasio “One of the best 17 road bikes of 2018″

Masi  Randonneur

Masi Randonneur

This is a great bike for century rides, long commutes, short commutes, dirt roads, gravel paths and just regular road rides with your friends.

This is a bike designed perfectly for the vast majority of Pacific Northwest riders.

If you can get over your whole “I might need a bike for a triathlon someday” delusion, this is the bike for you. Fenders and cromoly tubing may not be very aerodynamic, but they sure make your bike ride a pleasant experience.

This bike has randoneering frame geometry, meaning that it’s a road bike with touring geometry that has been tweaked just a bit. The bike is comfortable for really long rides, and it will carry all of your gear without becoming too squirrely. The wheels are the 650b size with 47mm wide tires and Masi has still managed to fit fenders on the bike. The frame is made out of cromoly steel, which delivers a springy, compliant ride quality.

The Randonneur has everything you want. It comes with stainless steel fenders, a compact crank (with a 32/48 tooth gear range), classic style, Shimano Tiagra components and TRP cable-actuated disc brakes.

Masi Randonneur Elite

I just said the Randonneur has everything that you want.  If I’m wrong about that, and what you want includes a really bright generator headlight and Shimano 105 components, then check out the Randonneur Elite.

The dynamo light puts out what looks like 1000 lumens, certainly enough light to make you swear off rechargeable lights for good. The Shimano 105 parts pack an extra cog onto the rear hub (compared to the Tiagra 10-speed stuff) and you get an even lower low gear.

Marin Gestalt

Marin Gestalt 2

In case you’re not familiar with the term, Gestalt is a whole that is more than the sum of its parts.

Marin named these bikes quite well. These are great bikes that give you more than the component list (or the prices) would suggest.

The Gestalt series aluminum frame is smooth and light (actually a bit lighter and springier than the steel Marin Nicasio or Fuji’s Sportive frame). It also comes with a fender and front-rack ready fork. The Gestalt versions that have mechanical (as opposed to hydraulic) brakes rely on the powerful Tekro Spyre models.

Gestalt 1

All of these bikes feature internal cable runs and the fabulous 30mm Schwalbe G-One tires. In order to keep the prices reasonable, the Gestalt 1 comes with Shimano Sora components. The Gestalt 2 is equipped with a carbon fork and Shimano Tiagra drivetrain.

Surly Long Haul Trucker

Surly Long Haul Trucker

Planning a tour that will take you off of the beaten path?
The Long Haul Trucker from Surly might be the bike for you.
Surly makes their loaded touring bikes out of tough steel tubing and finishes them with thick paint that will handle weird adventures and lots of abuse.
The Trucker has mounts for front and rear racks, fenders, and 3 bottle cages. Available as bare frames, Surly’s are easy to customize (they come with road-bike style drop bars, our pictured bikes are customized with upright bars for a long adventure across Russia).

Custom Long Haul Trucker

Are you really tall or really small? The Trucker comes in a frame size that will fit (and in 26″ or 700c wheel-size options).
Sure these bikes can be a little strange-looking (especially the tall versions with the small wheels), but sometimes you want something a little different, something a little less “corporate”, or something a bit more personal.

Available with disc or rim brakes.

All-City Space Horse

All-City Space Horse

You might be a rider who likes the idea of a steel touring bike.
You read Bicycle Quarterly and understand the appeal of wide road tires, generator lights and Brooks saddles. 400 kilometer long brevets with the Seattle Randonneuring club may be in your future, or you may just want a nice bike for commuting.
There are a few bike companies out there who understand what you want. Kona makes the Rove and Surly has the Long Haul Trucker, but you may want something a little more unique. It looks to you like a new Rivendell might be the way to go, if not for a few quirks about their design philosophy (old-fashioned cantilever brakes, quill-style handlebar stems).

All-City has it all figured out. This bike takes disc brakes and uses modern handlebar stems and headsets. The Space Horse frameset gives you the all-day comfort of the Kona Rove and comes in the versatile frame-only option like a Surly, without the goofy Rivendell quirks. The Space Horse is made from springy double-butted cromoly tubing. The fork has a fair amount of rake (so it will steer well with bags and other gear on the front end) and has a beautiful flat-plate crown.
Buy the Space Horse as a frameset or have us build it up with your favorite parts (the pictured bike came out for less than $1600).

Ritchey Road Logic

Ritchey Road Logic

Does anyone make a decent racing bike out of steel anymore?

You bet.

Ritchey makes a beautiful steel road bike out of their Logic tubing, and it’s just right.  Not too cheap (and heavy), not too pretty (so you’d be afraid to really ride it), not too expensive.  The Road Logic frame with headset and carbon fork will set you back about $1250.  That’s just the right range for replacing an old road frame that’s damaged or doesn’t fit right , and you don’t have to resort to buying something sketchy and used.  A Road Logic all built up with new parts will typically run between $2000 and $4500, and it will be the sweetest ride, with handling and comfort that is just right.

Fuji Sportif series road bikes

Fuji Sportif 1.3

Fuji is a new brand for us, and one of the main reasons that Fuji gets floor space in our store is the Sportif series.

Theses are road bikes with a lot of great features all in one place and all for a good price.

The models with a “1″ in their model name feature disc brakes, while the “2″ versions go the light-weight caliper brake route. All of the Sportifs are built around butted aluminum frames that have a nice springy ride quality. They also feature carbon fiber forks up front that handle great and soften the road vibration quite well.

One of our favorite versions is the Sportif 1.3. This Sportif features Avid BB7 mechanical disc brakes and a 22-speed Shimano 105 component group.  The wheels roll on 28mm-wide road tires, which give you better flat protection and ride comfort than standard 23mm-wide tires.  You get eyelets for fenders and racks.  The cockpit is outfitted with Oval Concepts handlebars and seatpost (which are nice and light).  There’s a compact crankset and a wide-range cassette so the gearing is really good for the hills around here.  The saddle is actually quite comfortable.  It’s all good stuff (and it will only set you back about $1100).

The point is, the Sportif 1.3 and the other versions are all sturdy and versatile road bikes.  A lot of mid-level road bikes are just scaled down racing bikes that are too fragile for the daily commute or too uncomfortable for long rides like Seattle to Portland.  The Fuji Sportif is a road bike that can do it all.

Ritchey Breakaway Road

Ritchey travel bike

Take the legendary and inspiring handling of a hand-built Ritchey bicycle. Add a revolutionary coupling system that allows you to pack it and travel around the world with ease. The result is the ultimate travel bike: The Ritchey Break-Away.  A full size bike in a case that measures a scant 9″ x 26″ x 29″!

The Break-Away bike disassembles and assembles in minutes and comes complete with a travel bag. Ritchey custom steel and carbon fiber tubesets and the patented compression coupling system are the keys to this design. The frame is securely joined at the seatpost in two places and on the downtube. The coupler clamps unobtrusively around small flanges on the downtube. While this system is as secure as systems much larger it adds less than 100 grams.

All packed up and ready to roll

It’s a bit of a puzzle, but it all fits.

Simple seat post clamps hold the frame together

Ritchey Break-Away frames are available in custom heat treated cromoly tubing and carbon fiber. Frame sets are available in road or cyclocross frame styles in a broad range of sizes. Purchase as a complete bike or as a frameset with carbon fork, headset, cable couplers & deluxe travel case.

Fuji Touring

Fuji Touring

Fuji’s touring bike has been the multi-day touring standard for more than 3 decades. If you’re a committed touring cyclist looking for the utmost in comfort and durability, this Fuji is for you.

The steel frame rides great regardless of the amount of weight that is packed onto it.  Unloaded, the bike is fun to ride.  Loaded, even with front panniers, you can handle it in the most severe cross winds.

Fuji has picked equipment that is reliable, touring tested and simple to repair in even the most out of the way places. The key features of this Fuji are the frameset, which is made of springy, strong, and surprisingly light cromoly tubing (about 2 pounds lighter than Surly’s Long Haul Trucker), the robust traditionally spoked touring wheels (36 spokes laced to Shimano hubs), and the complete Shimano drivetrain utilizing the best elements of road and off-road componentry.

For those of you who want simple and familiar, you’ll appreciate the bar-end shifters and rim brakes. For those of you who want cutting-edge and new (as of 1991) we can substitute integrated brake/shift levers for an additional $100.
By the way, would you believe that this bike will cost you less than $1000? Seriously, it’s about $500 off the price of a Trek 520 or a Surly Long Haul Trucker.
We don’t know how they do it.

Fuji Ace 24 & 650

Fuji Ace 24

This is a rare bike.

A real road bike for kids.  In stock.

As light and well-equipped as a starter racing bike for adults, the Ace 24 is perfect for the little speed demon in your family.  It doesn’t come with Shimano STI levers, opting for simpler (and less expensive) handlebar-mounted toggle switches.  What the bike does have is 14 speeds, quality wheels and brakes and cool styling.

The Ace 24 will work pretty well for most kids in the 8 to 12 year age range.  With 24″ wheel, reduced length cranks, a narrow handlebar, and small-size brake levers, this bike will fit just right.

Fuji Ace 650

if we need to go a little bit bigger, Fuji does the Ace 650 for kids and adults in the 4’9″ to 5′ tall range.

These bikes are exceptionally hard to get our hands on, so if you want one, don’t hesitate to come in and grab it.

Colnago V1-R

Colnago V1-R

Aerodynamic road bikes generally don’t handle so well.
Super-light climbing bikes are usually a little whippy.
Super-stiff racing road bikes typically aren’t the most comfortable.
It’s a good thing that the Colnago V1-R isn’t your typical road bike.

The V1-r is a super-light (780 grams for a 60cm frame), extremely aerodynamic road bike that climbs and sprints better than anything we have ever ridden.  Like all Colnagos, the V1-R handles beautifully, and has enough flex built into the frame and fork that the V1-R won’t beat you up if you want to spend long hours in the saddle.

That’s one fast snail

Direct mount brakes

Kammtail tubing shapes

The aerodynamic Kammtail tubing design (and wind tunnel time) of the V1-R was made possible with the help of another Italian legend, Ferrari.  Colnago and Ferrari have been sharing material and design ideas for years.

A local observer of our photo shoot decided that he should be associated with Colnago, Ferrari, and all things fast.  Yep, that’s one fast snail crawling up the wall behind our bike.

Ritchey Breakaway Carbon

Ritchey Breakaway Carbon

High performance to go.
Tom Ritchey has been designing fantastic bicycles for about 40 years now. In that time, Tom has managed to squeeze every drop of performance out of the materials he has at hand. Finally turning his attention to carbon fiber, Tom has built a winner.
The Breakaway Carbon has made Classic Cycle’s (Paul and Gavin’s) top 3 road bikes of all time list (along with the Colnago C60 and the Fuji Gran Fondo).
It rides great, is extremely comfortable, looks awesome, and seems to be tough as nails.
For about $3000 you can get the frame, fork, headset and suitcase. Complete bikes can be built up between $4000 and $7000.

All packed up and ready to roll

It’s a bit of a puzzle, but it all fits.

Cable couplers hold their adjustments and unscrew by hand

As an added benefit, this bike easily packs down into a regular size suitcase (which is included with the frameset) so you can take it with you when you go on vacation. Awesome.

Colnago AC-R

Colnago AC-R

Have you ever had a sure thing?

In the bike world, a sure thing is hard to come by.  Except for Colnago.

Bikes that have Ernesto Colnago’s name on them are a known quantity.

They’re beautiful, they’re fast, they’re safe and reliable.

When you ride a Colnago, you can be sure that the front-end handling will be perfectly mannered.  You can be certain that the frame will feel stiff and reponsive when you climb or while you sprint.  By riding a Colnago, you can rest assured you have the coolest bike on the group ride.

Most people also assume it’s a safe bet that a Colnago will be super expensive and uncomfortable for anything except racing…

… So maybe the AC-R isn’t a sure thing.  The AC-R is less expensive, lighter weight, and more comfortable than you expect.

Available complete with Shimano 105, Shimano Ultegra mechanical or electronic component groups, and as a custom build.

Colnago Master

Colnago Master

If the year was 1988 and you wanted the best racing bike that money could buy, you’d get a Colnago Master.

If it was 1996 and you wanted a racing bike but you thought bikes made out of aluminum rode harshly and you couldn’t afford titanium, you’d get a Colnago Master.

If you wandered into a bike shop ten years ago and wanted a road bike but thought all of the carbon fiber models looked like plastic toys, you’d have gotten yourself a Colnago Master.

If you come into Classic Cycle tomorrow and you’re feeling nostalgic, you can get a Colnago Master.

Classic colors

Real lugs, real steel

Available today

The Master is the only bike model that has been so consistently good, so ahead of it’s time, that it has been relatively unchanged and continuously available for over 30 years.  The paint and construction style makes it a work of art.  The diamond-shaped steel tubing still rides terrific (the modern tubing even weighs less than the original Gilco pipes).  Still made in Italy, still one of the best around.  Available in 1cm size increments from 46cm to 64cm.

Colnago C64

Colnago with Shimano Dur-Ace Electronic

The best bike.

O.K.  I know we said that the Colnago C59 was the best road bike ever made, but this bike is one more better.

Usually the flagship Colnago can be considered the bicycle equivilant of a beautiful Italian underwear model.  They are intimidating, stunning to look at and um, ride.  The C64 is kind of like that, only this model happens to have a masters degree from Stanford and knows how to cook too.

front end

Frame detail

With Ultegra equipment

The C64 rides and handles perfectly, just like the C60, but with just a touch less twisting in the front end.  The bottom bracket and the rear end of the bike feel just a touch springier.   The C60 was incredibly light, but this one is a quarter pound lighter still.  With the unusual tubing and lug shapes, Colnago doesn’t have to rely just on adhesives in the carbon to keep the frame from twisting, as the shaped lugs do the work here too.

The bicycle equivalent of a Ferrari (actually type “Ferrari” and “Colnago” into Google and see what I mean), the C64 will feel solid and sure on the scariest roads.  Colnago knows that in order to be fast, a bike must be comfortable enough to ride for hours and inspire confidence (not trepidation) when it comes to high speeds, turns and descents.   The C64 handles like a dream, is light as a feather, and pretty enough to sit in the living room instead of the garage.

These bikes come in 1cm size increments, ten different paint schemes, and with any components that you desire.  Come on in today and we can one started for you.

Inglis and Retrotec road

Retrotec Twin

Curtis Inglis makes cool and affordable road bikes in steel.
