The "Broadway Bike" Master Model

It's becoming harder to find a decent commuting bike out there, so we decided to create our own. We call it the Broadway Bike. These commuter-style bicycles are built in house, by hand, just because we love bicycles so much.

The Master Model is our dream commuter bike. It has all the class and comfort of an old English or Dutch bike, but has been designed to be fully compatible with modern components. It has all new, lightweight aluminum parts, handbuilt 700c wheels, a Shimano 7-speed internally geared hub, and is assembled in house on a high-quality double-butted cro-moly frame and fork handbuilt by framebuilder Ahren Rogers.

The Master model is our answer for those who want a classic, comfortable, high-quality, durable commuting bike, that will hold up to heavy every day use, but still look good enough for a night on the town. If you love the idea of an old English 3-speed bike, but want a lighter and stronger version that is compatible with modern components and accessories, then this is the bike for you. Come and try one out, and you'll wonder what you've ever done without it.

All Master Models come with the following new bike package:

  • Lifetime warranty on frame and fork (from defect)
  • A free 30-day checkup.
  • A one-year limited warranty on parts and labor (provided the bike has received its 30-day checkup).
  • A 10% discount on new parts and accessories for 90 days.

Price

Shimano Nexus 7-speed $1395.00

Sizing

standard frames available in 53cm, 56cm, and 59cm
step-through frames available in 50cm

Due to the upright position on this bicycle, the frame sizing you need tends to be smaller than you would need on a bike with different geometry. Please call us if you have questions regarding which frame size is appropriate.
