For slaying traffic and groceries. Flat bars, upright position, skinny tires and 10 speeds are my idea of the perfect city bike. Front racks aren’t ideal but I’ve found myself really appreciating their practicality.

This is rad. It's like a modern version of my Cannondale with a front rack.

You don't ride around prospect park do you? I've seen the same frame set up extremely similar a few times.

Yeah, I was living in Park Slope until October. It's quite possible that you saw me tooling around the park.

Interesting setup, I am looking to build a 1x7 using a shimano internal gear hub. That way no derailler to screw up. Love that paint!
