NEW!

ATHENA Messenger Bike

[52cm frame, single speed/ coaster hub]

[Olive Grey]


Athena is for fast inner city commutes or that weekend round island ride. We picked a strong and relatively light Bridgestone RB-T frame from the late 1970s for your race against modern machinery. Steering would a breeze with its classic touring geometry. The frame has been re-fabricated, new laser-cut drop outs have been inserted, stays and forks shortened from its 27 inch setup to a 700c to bring out the clean lines of a traditional track bike. For that finishing touch, we added a vintage Phillip stem with a new riser bar and it’s good to go!
