Focale 44 Fixie Track Bike (Green, 55cm)

Clean, classic lines and straightforward appreciation for the bike in its essential components separate the Relax Fixie Track Bike from just about any other two-wheeled bike out there. Coming from the unique Andorran company Focale 44 a member of the BMX Groupment, the Relax is pared down to the essential elements: Chromo frame and forks; 1-piece flat combo handlebar and stem; Campagnolo style headset; sealed alloy hubs and sealed ball bearings; and 32-hole alloy rims among other elements. The Relax is a "fixie" bike--meaning that it has no freewheel and therefore the pedals are always in motion when the bicycle is moving. With this fixed freewheel design, the cyclist can stop without using a brake, by resisting the rotation of the cranks, and also ride the bike in reverse. However, the Fixie does come with a 16T freewheel as well as Tektro brake calipers and Tektro BMX style brake levers included but not assembled on bike for more standard riding. Additional features include a plastic BMX style seat, Wellgo BMX plastic pedals with Chromo axles, and 700c Kenda Kontender tires. Weighing in at approximately 23 pounds, this bike is ready to take on the road and run up and down the stairs with you.
