Bikes like this will always have a place with open-minded, adventurous riders unconcerned with technology or genres. Just choose your handlebar type and go. Whether you’re mixing it up between tarmac and trail on the way to work, opening up new routes and exploring trail link-ups in mid-winter, or simply enjoying the challenge of riding distilled to its purest form, the Day One is a constant in cycling as well as more fun than it has any right to be.

The 'Cross version uses shallow-drop bars and an oversized 31.8mm clamp stem for rigidity, plus Tektro RL340 drop bar brake levers with a larger hood for better control / grip.
