A wider-ranging Day One, a Day One that takes the simple explorer-bike concept to the fullest, a bike that many of us have been waiting for. A combination of features inspired by winter-bike experiments in garages as well as Vin Cox’s ‘Great Bike Ride’ - a fast-and-light round-the-world record ride on a Shimano Alfine hub equipped Croix De Fer - the Day One Alfine has both braking and 8-speed gearing tucked well out of the way of the dirt.
With drop bars for maximum ride comfort and all-day efficiency, a comfortable Reynolds 520 Cro-Mo steel frame and fork and a parts list that’s both reliable and minimal, it’s perfectly suited to anything from the daily commute to inspiring epic rides. Add a frame bag, a rear rack and rolled-up bivi gear and it could inspire an epic lifestyle.
