Description

This is one of our most popular designs, and for good reasons! It's light, fast, comfortable and versatile.

It is built around our classic steel frame, and set up with a light weight Shimano road bike wheelset with durable and grippy Delta Cruiser tyres. It has a wide range 9-speed mountain bike gearing setup to get you up those steeper climbs and is finished with a Brooks leather saddle, leather grips  and riser stye handlebars.

A simple bike, with rugged character. Easy to ride around town, the country and into the hills.

Built to order in the UK.

Features

1.       Double butted chromoly steel frame. Constructed using a mix of hand brazed, investment cast lug joints and TIG welded bottom bracket, our frame is specially designed to be hard wearing and versatile. It features all the mounts for mudguards, pannier racks and bottle cages.

2.       Powder coat and lacquered paint finish. Our frames are powder coated and lacquered by our friends just down the road, they do a top job with a thick layer of powder coat, followed by a layer of lacquer. The result is bold and very glossy. The frame is then finished with a handmade headbadge by Geoff Moorhouse

3.       Temple Cycles Finishing kit. The bike has been built up with our own selection of parts, which include the handlebars, quill stem and crankset. We like polished silver for that timeless look that gets better with age.

4.   Shimano RS010 Wheelset. This is a high quality, light and strong wheelset.

5.       Brooks B17 leather saddle, made in England from the finest leather. 

6.    Shimano Alivio 9 speed gearing. This is a mountain bike gearing set up, which means it is reliable and very strong, meaning less maintenance, with a crisp gear shift. *Shimano Altus pictured on bike
