The Roadster Classic comes in three sizes: small: 48 cm/18 3/4 – 26 wheel, medium: 51cm/20 – 700C wheel, and large: 59cm/23 – 700C wheel, and weighs in at 29.5 pounds. The frame is durable Hi Tensile steel with a Chromoly down tube. It also has a 3 piece forged aluminum crank, double wall alloy rims with stainless steel spokes, genuine leather grips, North Road polished aluminum handlebar, Shimano coaster brake, touring saddle, front reflector, rear reflector, alloy kickstand, touch-up paint for the frame, and a mid-century styled alloy bell. One feature I really liked is that the tires have a built-in reflective strip that goes around the entire circumference on both sides of both tires.

The Roadster Classic frame comes in three color choices: rosewood, black, and cream. If you choose the rosewood frame, the tires are cream colored. If you opt for either the black or cream bike frame, the tires come in black.

This bike is a shining example of how the idea of keeping it simple can make a great product. By only having one speed and just a coaster brake, this bike eliminates a whole bunch of parts that are bound to let you down. This essentially reduces the amount of maintenance required to keep this bike up and running. I had several bikes as a kid, and those that always lasted the longest before needing any work done were the single speeds with a coaster brake. Steel frame single speed bikes are basically bullet proof compared to bikes with aluminum frames, dozens of gears, shifter cables, hand brakes, brake cables, and shocks – each of which have dozens of intricate tiny parts just waiting to fail on you, usually at a critical moment if you have my luck.
