Fewer parts. Nothing to break.
No derailleurs, no shifters, no cables waiting to stretch. One gear means the 53 stays light, stays quiet, and stays out of the repair stand. Riders call it the silent bike for a reason.
Steel that takes a Toronto winter.
The hi-tensile steel frame won’t warp under daily riding on rough pavement. Streetcar tracks, potholes, curb hops: the frame absorbs what aluminum transmits.
Geared for a flat city.
The 44/18 setup gives a 1:2.44 ratio tuned for Toronto’s grid: torquey off the line, easy to hold speed. Want more top end? The freewheel swaps to a 16T or 14T in minutes.

“A marvel of engineering.”
Day-one riders, photographed at pickup.
This ‘simple’ bike is actually a marvel of engineering. Super light, solid construction and road tires that give zero resistance. It just glides forever.
Miraj Syed · Google reviewJust did a 20k ride and wow this thing is smooth, SILENT and so easy to ride up hill.
Jamal · Google reviewLuca ensured the bike was set up and ready to ride when I arrived. Same day I picked it up we went on a 26 km ride and it functioned flawlessly.
Allan Espiritu · Google reviewIt truly is geared for Toronto’s mostly flat landscape. I’ve been using my bike 5 days a week since I bought it.
