Retrospec Bicycles Mantra V2 Single Speed Fixed Gear Bicycle, Matte Black, 61cm/X-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.

A worthy commuter with a budget-friendly price tag Got this bike about 6 weeks ago and have put a considerable amount of miles on it, so I decided to wait until now to write a review.
