 introducing Aristotle
Aristotle is a nice balance of value and visual. Classic angles and sensible outfitting, Aristotle is a multi-purpose, practical ride at a beautiful price.
Aristotle: fixed or free – you decide
Aristotle is a singlespeed bicycle with a fixed/free hub. Fixed gear or track bikes have their rear cog attached or "fixed" to the rear wheel. A fixed gear bicycle is essentially a singlespeed bicycle. However, singlespeed bikes allow the rider to coast without pedaling, but on a fixed gear bicycle you can't coast without pedaling. So, you're always pedaling on a fixed-gear bicycle.
If it's new to you, riding a fixed gear bicycle takes a bit of getting used to. However, the Aristotle comes standard with a fixed/free dual hub. So if you're new to a fixed gear bike, or need the comfort of the occasional coast – Aristotle serves both purposes. Flip around your rear wheel anytime to switch from fixed to not. Or not to fixed. And back. Fix or free - you decide. For details and specifications or to build a custom Aristotle, click here. |
