RECLAIM YOUR TIME IF...
- You are tired of cheap bikes that break down and require constant drivetrain maintenance.
- You want a lightweight, premium machine that you can effortlessly carry up to your walk-up apartment.
- You value a silent, highly responsive ride that reacts instantly to your pedal input.
- You are looking for the best low-maintenance commuter bike to match your fast-paced lifestyle.
THE SOUL OF STEEL
Forged for Urban Resilience
Aluminum frames are harsh. Carbon is fragile. Our 4130 Double-Butted Chromoly is legendary in the cycling industry. It possesses a "memory" for comfort, naturally soaking up the micro-vibrations of cracked pavement and cobblestones that leave other riders fatigued.
This isn't just about extreme durability—it's about the emotional zen of a silent, smooth journey through the urban chaos. Ride longer, sprint harder, and arrive at your destination refreshed, not rattled.
FLIP THE SCRIPT
Fixed or Free: You Decide
Why choose between pedaling purity and city practicality? The integrated Flip-Flop Hub gives you both. Ride "Fixed" to feel every inch of the road and master the art of the skid, or flip the rear wheel to the "Freewheel" side for effortless single-speed coasting down city bridges.
This represents the pinnacle of maintenance-free performance. No derailleurs to bend, no shifter cables to stretch, and no complex gears to fail when you need them most. It is the ultimate expression of agentic cycling: just you and the bike in total harmony.

SEE IT IN ACTION
WHY THIS BUILD MATTERS
The 4130 isn't just about looks. It's meticulously engineered for urban survival. Here is the technical breakdown of why this bike outperforms standard commuters.
Double-Butted 4130 Steel
Unlike standard high-tensile steel, our 4130 Chromoly features variable wall thickness. It maintains a staggering 100,000 PSI tensile strength at the joints while shaving off excess material in the center, resulting in a frame that is 20% lighter without sacrificing durability.
16 Unique Skid Patches
If you ride fixed, you know the pain of burning through rear tires. Our optimized 46/16 gear ratio is mathematically engineered to distribute your stopping friction across 16 unique skid patches, effectively tripling your rear tire life compared to a standard 48/16 setup.
Massive 38c Tire Clearance
We designed the frame and fork to fit up to 38c tires. This high-volume rubber acts as a "natural suspension" system, absorbing up to 35% more road vibration than traditional 25c commuter tires, turning brutal city potholes into minor bumps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standover height of the 4130 frame?
Standover height ranges from 29.1" on the 49cm frame to 33.7" on the 62cm frame. We recommend measuring your actual inseam to ensure at least 1 inch of clearance over the top tube.
Can I ride this bike if I’ve never ridden a fixie before?
Yes. Every 4130 ships with a Flip-Flop Hub, allowing you to easily switch between Fixed Gear and a standard Single-Speed Freewheel that allows you to coast.
Does the Matte Black / Mirror model come with brakes?
Yes, this model includes both front and rear dual-pivot caliper brakes and levers, making it 100% street-legal and safe for urban riding.
What is the benefit of a 4130 Chromoly Steel frame?
4130 Chromoly is double-butted steel that is stronger and lighter than high-tensile steel, offering superior vibration dampening for a smoother ride on rough pavement.
What is the gear ratio on the 4130 Matte Black / Mirror?
The bike features a 46x16 gear ratio. This setup is optimized for city commuting, providing a balanced blend of climbing torque and flat-land speed.
How much does the 4130 Fixed Gear weigh?
The average weight is approximately 22 lbs 10 oz for a 55cm frame, providing a stable and planted feel in city traffic compared to lighter aluminum models.
How often should I tension the chain?
We recommend checking tension every 100–200 miles. Horizontal dropouts allow for easy adjustment to prevent chain drop and ensure a quiet drivetrain.
What tire pressure should I run in the stock 25c tires?
We recommend 90–110 PSI. Lower pressure increases comfort on bumpy roads, while higher pressure minimizes rolling resistance for maximum speed.
Is the Mirror finish on the fork hard to maintain?
The mirror finish is durable but shows fingerprints. A quick wipe with a microfiber cloth and standard bike polish will maintain its high-shine aesthetic.
