Classic 1960’s 3-speed cruisers are some of our favorite bikes. One of the reasons we love them so much is that they just seem to “keep going” with minimal maintenance, even after decades of everyday use. The Daybird takes inspiration from the old 3-speed bikes we admire and adds in carefully selected modern improvements.

On the classic side find Sturmey Archer’s 3-speed hub combined with a durable and intuitive aluminum thumb shifter. The high quality steel frame features a time-proven comfortable riding position. On the modern side find light-weight, polished Aluminum fenders and chain-guard. The bike will keep going thanks to the chromoly cranks, sealed bottom bracket, and tires protected by an extra thick tread.

Choose the Daybird as a Standard or Step-thru.
Both styles available in Black or Marshal Green.
