Anna’s new commuting whip is a genius repurposing of her first road bike, which was always a little too big. (Maybe this situation is familiar to you?) Once I saw and tested this bike, I couldn’t stop recommending this trick left and right.
What’s so special? It’s the mix of speedy vintage road bike heritage with city functionality. “I bought this Trek at the Trexlertown bike swap about 10 years ago, when I was riding a single speed but wanted to start going faster and longer,” says Anna. Around town, she was riding an old Specialized Rockhopper built up as a cruiser. But the Purple People Eater, as the Rockhopper was nicknamed, was “a bit too sluggish and ape-hanger for my liking. Really fun, really happy, but not very practical.”
Specs & cost breakdowns of Anna’s new build after the jump.
