Ruben Dropbar - Satin Black

The Ruben is a Pacific Northwest style commuter designed with performance in mind. The steel frame and fork provide an incredibly smooth ride that takes out the harshness of the road, and the disc brakes will have you stopping with complete confidence no matter what the weather conditions.

The Ruben comes with a full complement of fender mounts as well as mounts for a rear rack so you can outfit your ride however you like. Our new swinging dropout system with built in chain tensioners allow the rider to switch between a geared or singlespeed setup with total ease. The 2x9 Shimano Sora STI drivetrain provides ample gearing for any type of commuting or general riding and the 28c puncture resistant tires are very quick but also stable for rougher roads. For the tubing we are using double butted Founderland Chromoly that is a seamless drawn tube for increased strength and ride quality. The geometry is modeled around a traditional cyclocross setup so if you wanted to throw bigger tires on and race, the Ruben can handle it no problem.
