Wabi Classic, Summer 2020 Pre-Order

PRE-ORDER INFORMATION: These builds will start to ship in mid-August. We don't have an exact date as the date is based on the arrival of the frame inventory and when you place your pre-order (first come, first serve). Orders as of July 12th will not ship until September given the backlog. We will provide more specific dates in early August. 

CUSTOMIZATION/UPGRADE INFORMATION: Our Build Your Wabi customizer is not enabled with pre-orders due to shortages of many components. In the mean time, we have expanded our standard upgrade offerings. If you want something customized that does not require a cost upgrade (like gear ratios, brake lever setup, etc.), please note it in the checkout comments. If you want an upgrade that is not listed, please purchase the build to save you pre-order and then contact us to add upgrades as needed. 

CUSTOM COLORS: You can now choose a custom color model as an option in the dropdown menu for $1,145 ($250 upgrade). Please see our FAQ on how to choose and spec a custom color for your order. Please note that custom colors will take an additional month to fulfill.

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.
