Classic Lugged One-Speed: $3450

Bicycle For SaleBrian BehrensComment

This is a personal bike that I’m ready to part ways with. It’s a classic lugged single speed with a flip-flop rear hub, fixed gear on one side, freewheel on the other. It has classic Long Shen long point lugs, and a relaxed, road bike geometry. There are hand made, removable low rider racks, a basic upper rack deck with a front light and small basket. The down tube logo is stainless steel, brazed on in a wobbly style. The non-drive-side chain stay also has a small stainless logo on it. The details on this one are subtle, but it’s packed with style. 

I rode it on and off for a number of years. The paint is worn and scratched in places, and the top tube has a couple of small dents, but nothing structural. This happened while parked at a bike rack with too many other bikes, and someone with uncaring hands knocked it around a bit. I should have known better!
