San Jose
The first bike Edoardo Bianchi manufactured in 1885 had only one gear, not that he wanted people to suffer up the hills. It's just that his revolutionary vision of Celeste-colored human-powered two-wheelers predates the birth of gears. That's us, older than gears. Which is why when we introduce a new single-speed, it is somewhat of a contradiction. San Jose joins M.U.S.S and W.U.S.S. as the latest one-speeder that only makes sense if you get it. Unlike fixed-gear track bikes, which are the obvious standard for track racing and urban hipster pothole dodging, our single-speeders have a one-speed freewheel, so you can enjoy the pain off-road. Based on the popular steel Volpe frame, but with horizontal rear-entry track dropouts. It also sports a custom Bianchi rear hub, Cane Creek SCX cantilevers, WTB All Terrainasaurus 700x32c tires and the famous Bianchi ride, born before gears.
