City streets beware the Novara Big Buzz bike! This curb-hopping, alley-surfing, ''no thanks, I'll ride'' street machine will turn the concrete jungle into one big playground.
- The streets are dangerous, so we've built this nimble ride with two big front chainrings and fast 700c tires for just one reason: Speed!
- And if you want to ride this hustler town-to-town, that's just fine—Big Buzz dishes out long rides with performance and comfort to spare
- 6061 aluminum frame combines mountain bike geometry with road bike tubing for a lightweight, heads-up ride that flies up and down city hills
- Alloy straight blade fork with tapered legs takes the edge off of the roughest urban roads
- Comes with Avid BB5 disc brakes because that's what it takes to decelerate from warp speed
- Two forward chainrings and nine rear cogs create 18 speeds of versatility to conquer the steepest city hill and cruise country roads
- SRAM X.7 Twister shifters sport a 1:1 actuation ratio and SRS technology for light, precise indexing; quick view indicator tells you where you are
- Alex TD24 lightweight double-wall rims offer workhorse reliability
- Puncture-resistant Vittoria Randonneur tires feature reflective sidewalls and a fast, smooth ride
- Velo BUZZ saddle is ergonomically designed and padded for support and comfort over a long day's ride
- Just get on and ride, no fancy shoes required—BMX-style platform pedals accommodate a variety of casual shoes
- We let loose with a hand grinder on the frame to create a raw, industrial finish that makes each Big Buzz unique
