The Roadster 8-speed is the vagabond of Roadsters.  With color-matching steel fenders, Shimano Nexus 8-speed hub, and its impeccable styling, the Roadster is perfect for those looking to loosen their Windsor knot (or hike up their skirts) and hit the open road. If you voraciosly read travel writing, live near anything described as "hill country," or just like to have options, this is the Roadster for you. 

The Roadster 8-Speed features a full Chromoly frame and fork.  Three-piece forged aluminum crank powers the buttery-smooth Shimano Nexus internal 8-speed hub for a full compliment of gears, adequate for tackling a variety of terrain from the big city to country roads and winding hills.  Tektro dual pivot caliper brakes offer power while quick release mechanism affords the convenience when you need to remove a wheel.  Genuine leather handgrips convey comfort, style, and an elegant contrast to the North Road polished aluminum handlebar.  Each Roadster 8-Speed comes with painted steel fenders with retro brackets and aluminum braces.  Linus minimalist alloy rack rounds out the utilitarian flare of this build with a perfect perch from which to hang your panniers.  Mid-century style alloy bell announces that you've hit the road for high adventure.
