Retrospec Bicycles Mantra V2 Single Speed Fixed Gear Bicycle, Matte Black, 57cm/Large
Listen up. This is the new and improved mantra from Retrospec Bicycles. It now comes standard with front and rear Pro max brakes to keep you safe on your ride (we know you’ve taken a page out of Mr. Toad’s wild book). sealed cartridge bearing hubs keep your bike clean, strong, and healthy. If no ooey gooey stuff can get in to its nooks and crannies, your bike will lead a happier life. The three-piece crank set is forged and will keep up with you as you bob and weave through your urban jungle. With a flip-flop hub, you can adventure around town however you’d like, be it fixed or single-speed with a freewheel. In addition to wanting your ride to be exactly what you want, we also want it to be exceptionally smooth, so we’ve added 43mm stars super deep-v rims with a machined braking surface. With a KMC chain, Kenda kwest commuter tires, and vp freestyle pedals, your two-wheeling Expedition is about to be like nothing you’ve ever experienced.

Stand over is tight I’m a 33 inseam. Built the bike in thirty minutes. Tires handle my weight well at…
Excellent bike!!! I had to get this bike on a really tight budget because I have to commute by bike and my one-of-a-kind Giant Kronos got taken by the best kind of people we all know, a bike thief, may they rot in hell. I was skeptical of having a single speed bike but my buddy let me borrow his, which is very similar to this one, and it worked out fine.
