Many ask why our bikes are so cost effective. The answer is simple, we design, import, distribute, and retail our own bikes. This efficiency saves our customers 50-70% over comparable quality bikes.

The Downtube FS was designed with safety and ease of use in mind. Features added for your comfort and convenience include:

- Sub 10 second folding time.

- Mini barends. (With many folding bikes it is difficult to steer with a long stem, barends solve this problem, but make the bike difficult to fold . not with our mini barends - easy to turn and easy to fold!)

- Folding left and right pedals for compactness.

- Plastic chainring cover to make keep chain from getting dirt and grime in your car or storage area. Also keeps the chain from falling off.

- Ding-a-ling bell to alert pedestrians and cars (packed in the bag)

- Extra wide handlebars to allow the rider to stretch out and feel comfortable.

- Super duper soft comfortable grips.

- Adjustable height stem allows bike to be used by kids and adults.

- Front and rear Quick Release skewers to quickly remove either wheel.

- Velo "love channel" saddle.

- Water bottle cage mount (only bike in its class with this feature)

- Aluminum frame with aluminum swingarm (FS Model)

- Front suspension fork by Zoom with transarch and preload adjustment.

- 9sp JUJU upgrade option

- 48T front chainring.

- 11-12-14-16-18-21-24-28-32 SunRace cassette. A cassette is a huge upgrade from our competitors 7sp freewheel bikes. Freewheels are a "cheaper" type of cassette. Cassettes shift MUCH better than Freewheels

- Oversized 1 1/8" headset, for increased durability and performance.

- Quality V-brakes.

- Double wall 24/28H front/rear 20" alloy rims.

- Quality front and rear Kenda 20" tires.

Read About Downtube's History

All buyers should get their bike checked by a professional after receipt just to be safe. Normally the brakes may be a bit off center, which is easy to fix, the shifting will almost always be out, however turning the rear barrel adjuster counter clockwise at most 2 times will fix the shifting issues, and the crank bolts should be tightened. We will give free consulting via email and Instant messenger (AIM DowntubeY) and phone 215-245-4032 to make sure all bikes are set up perfectly for our customers. Ideally one wants a 35 degree knee bend at the bottom of the pedal stroke. Arms should be loose and relaxed, and the saddle angle should be level or slightly downward sloping......whatever is most comfortable for the rider.
