Description
BUILT FOR THE LONG ROAD, READY FOR THE STREETS
If you’re a road cyclist looking to make the leap to single speed or fixed gear—whether for training, an added challenge, or to try something new—the Wabi Classic is made for you. With frame geometry that’s relaxed but not slouchy, it’s perfect for long distance head-up riding while remaining aggressive enough to tuck in and give those pedals hell.
If mashing down city streets is more your style, the Wabi Classic's short wheelbase gives you a nimble ride for dodging taxis or bunny-hopping any rip-rap that gets in your way.
IN STEEL WE TRUST
At about 19 pounds, the Wabi Classic is one of the lightest all-steel fixed gear bikes around. And it’s all thanks to Reynolds 725 Chromoly steel. As a double-butted tubing, Reynolds 725 has thinner walls throughout its length while its critical connection points are thicker to allow for stronger welds. It’s also heat-treated for greater durability and rigidity than the more-common 4130 Chromoly steel used in lower-end framesets. TIG welded by hand, this frame is as strong as it is sleek.
BOMBPROOF EVERYTHING
At the tail-end, you’ll find true track-style horizontal rear dropouts that can handle the extra torque generated when backpedaling to slow your roll. Rock-solid components from major makers including Tektro, Tange, and Andel complete the package.
Adding to the buttery feel of the Wabi Classic, a hand-brazed tapered Chromoly steel fork leads the way, soaking up bumps and chatters like a champ. Shipped with a sealed bearing Tange Seiki Technoglide headset installed and ready to rock, expect crisp steering and handling out of the box.
PICK YOUR BUILD
Every Wabi is assembled to order, so you can have drop bars, riser bars, bullhorns, compact drops, all at no extra charge.

FAQ/IMPORTANT LINKS
Check out our FAQ/Knowledge Base for most questions.
Assembly. Note that our bikes come 90%+ assembled and most customers can assemble themselves. This saves you the time and cost of taking the bike to a bike shop for assembly.
Upgrade options explained. This will help explain the upgrades in the dropdown menus and well as other options that are not on the menu.
Steel
We use Reynolds 725 and Columbus Spirit. These higher quality grades of steel allows us to use less of it, so you get a lighter, more responsive frame.
E.D Coating
Our steel frames are E.D. coated to act as a rust preventative and a primer. This high-performance rust inhibitor is applied inside the frame and out.
design
Wabi frames are road-designed with upright angles, and short wheelbases, which creates comfort, efficiency, and predictable handling. Our road frame design gives you an agile and fast ride.
Details
We love the detail of our frames. You'll find cast-brazed dropouts, machined head tubes, brazed seatpost collars, bottle cage eyelets, and brazed forks.
United StatesI love my Wabi bicycle! It’s a work of art. I love to joy ride around my neighborhood. You won’t regret this purchase!
United StatesGreat bike. The most fun bike to ride I’ve owned. I use it for my daily commuter.
United StatesWent together eassaly all parts were there wrapped perfectly was riding in 1 hour rides awesome!!
United StatesI received my new Rhodium Blue Wabi Classic three weeks ago. The packing of the bike was securely done, yet it was simple to unbox and assemble. The color is beautiful and works well with the silver components and classic honey Brooks seat and leather tape. Before my first ride, I discovered the front wheel was out of true. Within a few minutes of emailing Wabi, they contacted me right back. Explaining to me shipping sometimes affects hubs if the carton is set down improperly, they immediately set in motion to remedy the issue. Wow! Determining the size of a bike you order on the internet can be unnerving, however I provided my inseam and my road bike measurements as indicated on Wabi’s website. After I placed my order, Wabi contacted me to confirm additional info. The 53cm bike fits me perfectly. I’m 5’9”, 179lbs and err...I just turned 65 years old (yikes!). I mention my age because any contemporaries seeking that giddy, youthful feel again...just go jump on a Wabi! 100% guaranteed to make you smile. I have to admit, I sang the first time while I rode this new bike. The feel of the steel is real! I’m no expert on frame geometry, but for me the Classic is perfect on the spectrum between aggressive and comfort. I selected the compact drop handlebars with drop levers. Minor concerns: I find the leather handlebar wrap would benefit with more padding, but it’s not a big deal since I use the bike for shorter rides than my road bike. Also, when I removed the seat post to make some adjustments, it was extremely tight pulling it out of the seat tube (which caused a lot of score lines on the tube). I buffed the tube with some fine emery sandpaper, applied some lubricant and the post slid back in a little easier, yet remains secure. The cold of winter is here now, but on sunny days riding my new Wabi is a real joy. And what’s better than feeling like a kid again?
United StatesI purchased my Wabi Classic several months ago and have been riding my Wabi everyday. My first impression of this bike is WOW! The fit and finish is incredible. Sleek and super clean. The handling is quick, nimble, and the feel is smell balanced. This is by far my best bike purchase!
