Retrospec Bicycles Speck Folding Single-Speed Bicycle, Matte Black, 20-Inch
Retrospec Bicycles has been a leading manufacturer of urban and commuter bicycles since 2008. While we have successfully launched bicycles of all kinds, our “less is more” mentality always leads us back to a simple single-speed drive train and ultra-light aluminum frame. The Retrospec Speck is a foldable single-speed that operates on a coaster brake which allows you to stop easily by pedaling backward. No brake cables or shifters are necessary so this bike is simple and easy to maintain, ride, carry and put away in a small space. Ergonomic grips and the famous Retrospec saddle make this a luxurious bike that will make each ride comfortable. The Speck is recommended for riders ranging from 4’8 to 6’6, under 240 lbs.

A real bargain This is exactly what I wanted in a folding bike for our travel trailer in Mexico – something so simple and dustproof that nothing can go wrong, able to go at least 2 miles on the worst dirt roads, and so compact I won’t resent the space it takes when stored. That it is also very economical compared to many folding bikes is a bonus. (I’ve had several multi-speed folding Dahons, and had trouble keeping the chain in place on all of them. Multi-speeds aren’t much of an advantage when the chain on a…
