ENGLISH! The MC Jag Bike is a singlespeed created by converting a racing cycle from the late 70s to a bike of “all comforts”.
Special attention was given in aid of comfortability. It is light, clean, and very cozy in the riding position.
We started with a Columbus steel frame ride to keep it light.
The tires (700×28) are a perfect compromise between lightness and stability creating a seeming weightless ride while driving on paved city streets.
The Brooks Flyer leather seat has a line sporty enough but the wide springs and copper detailing bring it right back to vintage and comfort.
The cruiser handlebars are high and almost enveloping, for a relaxed ride and steady position.
The gear hub as well as the rear brake drum attached to the gear was chosen to keep the chain line as clean as possible,
It was a shame that we couldn’t hide the two wires that come out from the handlebars but it was impossible to do without …
