Tokyo Fixed Wide Open

More Info

The Wide Open is our do everything road bike, or a Audax bike as it used to be called. Racy geometry and lightweight Columbus Zona tubing will keep the rider entertained at the weekends on longer rides. When it comes to winter commuting the space for larger tyres and guards will keep you dry and comfy. Finally, load up some panniers, bolt on a rack and head off for a weekend touring.

The original Wide Open received extremely positive feedback, and we have broadly restrained the want to tinker with it. We did slightly shorten the wheelbase to give a more responsive ride and added a steel fork for improved comfort. We also finished off the frame in classic British Racing Green, to highlight the heritage of great British steel. 

BikeRadar gave the Wide Open a glowing 4/5 star review, citing it's incredible versitility, racey geometry and gorgeous styling. The features such as enclosed drop-outs and detachable gear hangers are "along with other details normally only found on pricier custom builds" elicited praise, as well as the smooth filet brazing.
