Description:The Classic Retrotec is our most popular model.

We build this bike in Mountain, 29", Road, and Cyclocross. All models can be built as Singlespeed.

The Classic model appeals to a number of people because of it's "old school" cruiser look. All the bends are exactly the same as the early Retrotecs made over 10 years ago.

The Classic is available in production and custom sizes.

One new twist to the frame is our use of some over-sized tubing (1 1/4" from standard 1 1/8" ) when requested.

    Favorite Trail:Berryman
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $1300.00
    Purchased At:Ghisallo Sports
    Strengths:Real perty, solid, very well crafted, good geometry. Abilty to choose some frame options-brake type, eyelets, tubing diameter.......
    Weaknesses:Not the lightest on the planet, neither am I.
    Similar Products Used:Nothing like this, but Niner One 9 and Fisher Paragon and others.
    Bike Setup:Rigid(for now), geared, discs, Marys, Reba waiting for second crown race
    Bottom Line:Exceeded expectations for build quality, paint and prep.

    Tig welding is clean, bends in tubing are flawless, all stops and guides are well thought out.

    Optional paint (in lieu of included powder coating) is worth every penny, great colors.

    Frame and fork were tapped, faced, reamed and internally treated with frame saver, just build and ride.

    As with any builder, you can't be in a hurry to get one!

    Bottom line-if you want something different that rides well and looks cooler, get one.
