The expert builders and athletes at The Vanilla Workshop have released their newest bike, the 2015 SpeedVagen Urban Racer. Simple, sketchy, and fun, the bike is in a class all its own. It was designed to be uncomplicated and carefree from top to bottom, complete with a coaster brake for maximimum “skidability” and minimum distraction. The automatically shifting internal two-speed SRAM hub makes for an overall simple design and adds to the bike’s intended rough-around-the-edges fun. While the larger wheel and tire size make it feel like it can ride almost anywhere, the bike still has the sleek and lightweight frame of a racer. The chain guard is designed in-house, made from super light stainless steel. Although the Urban Racer is a lot more than a commuter bike or grocery-getter, the designers want people to be able to dash across the city without attracting attention. Stripped of any flashy graphics or bright colors, the pure and simple Urban Racer can be your secret weapon. Vanilla’s Sacha White describes it best as “A light bike that has some good volume to the tires, has a minimalist, modern, sexy design and above all is something that I totally want to SHRED on… I think about this bike when I’m not riding it. ” Order your own, or check out some more SpeedVagen made-to-order bikes.
