Red & Black might refer to the classic novel by Stendhal, or to the famed anarchist vegan Red And Black Cafe on the Left Coast (founded by Wobblies! – though some of us wish they had kept the original name, the Flying Saucer), or to the deservedly popular algorithm for self-balancing binary trees (for those who feel that hash tables are cheating somehow). Or maybe you think of checkers, or superheroes, or villains, or that song from Les Miserables.
Well, maybe you should think of this bike. The red is deployed as the subtlest highlight – it shows up on the thin edge of the lugs, which is an all-too-rare touch that really makes the lugs pop. & our mechanics thoughtfully matched the brake cabling. It looks great.
Sporty handlebars, a clean new drivetrain & new brakes & wheels – this ride is ready to rock & roll.
