Brand new and still retro, the Flyers slim Reynolds steel frame and single gear hint at the past as well as benefiting from a contemporary geometry and component mix that makes for a highly involving ride however fast the gear is turning.
The Flyer has a lugged fork and the frame includes a classic seat clamp lug, track ends with built-in chain tension screws and removable cable guide clips, plus just one set of bottle mounts to keep it clean and simple. The bottle mounts are on the seat stay because on a Friday night social ride, we wouldnt put a bottle of something nice anywhere else.

What is a Road Bike?Referred to as road racing bikes, the clue is in the title here. These bikes concentrate on being light weight and reducing drag to increase speed. Thanks to their drop handlebars they have a stretched out feel, again for aerodynamics. So efficiency is the name of this game, definitely not comfort. For more information on road bikes see our
