The San Jose offers a harmonious balance of two things—practicality and performance—with only one gear. This lightweight single-speed chariot is perfect for commuting and around-town cruising. The relaxed, sturdy frame has clearance for wide tires, so you can also dabble in the dirt and in cyclocross. Not everyone wants or needs 20-something gears to shift, and a lot of good can come of freeing yourself of constantly having to choose the right one. When it comes to elegant simplicity, the San Jose knows the way.
Highlights: Double-butted chrome-moly frame and fork with rack and fender mounts. Sugino 42-tooth crank. Shimano 17-tooth freewheel. Cane Creek cantilever brakes. WTB All Terrainasaurus 700x32C tires.
