More Info

 

The Tokyo Dream Machine is likely to be the most versatile single speed frame that you will find and its versatility doesn't come at the cost of clean lines and good looks. This is the bike that we have always wanted to design and this simply comes down to the fact that, apart from vintage path racers, we couldn't find anything like it elsewhere. We developed the Tokyo Dream Machine for strength with an indestructible double plated fork crown and hand fillet brazed Columbus Zona steel tubing. 

This is exactly how we'd build up a Dream Machine - the brooks saddle and swept-back Porteur bars are the perfect accompaniment to the old path-racer geometry. This is your daily bike, get the groceries, meet your friends, race the commuters; there's nothing it can't do and still haul you home again. Tough, practical and comfortable, there isn't much more you can ask from a bike.
