• Bombtrack Arise - any reason why not?

    Looking for single speed commuter that can take light off road duties mainly with family cycling (which underplays what an adventurous child can get up to), but could also tackle more interesting stuff (SDW in a day on a SS anyone?)

    Functionally it seems to fit the bill, and I really like the ability to go 1x later on.

    Don’t like the weight (11.5kg!!) or the cost (but c2w and a one in one out rule means it will work out at a few hundred real pounds, rather than a grand)

    Thoughts?

  • Haven't ridden one, but I really like the spec of them - 700c/650b, sliding thru axle for SS or geared, drops or risers, and looks tough enough to handle light offroad.
    People seem to be happy with their Bombtracks generally.
