Oxford Bike Works Model 2

£2099

The Model 2 is our high quality touring bike. Available in both 26”(while stocks last) and 700c wheel formats, with or without disc brakes

If you are after a refined, high quality flat barred touring bike, we reckon this is the best example on the market. We use a Shimano Deore XT transmission and running gear, making no compromises on quality, unlike other manufacturers at this price bracket. We have adopted the Shimano FC-U6010 chainset as it has steel chainrings that last a lot longer than the alloy ones of the XT unit. For those who would like the XT chainset we will fit this for a small upgrade charge.

Your comfort is assured with Ergon GP1 grips and Gel saddle.

We also upgraded to more premium tyres on this model, offering Schwalbe Marathon tyres.
