The bicycle also boasts an 8-speed rear drivetrain shift that makes use of a downtube lever. This ensures the 4130 Road can be low maintenance and durable. The simple-yet-effective design has 25-35mm wide tires letting you conquer any road challenge. This retro-inspired bike is perfect for all cyclists, including commuters.
