The Day One Alfine 8 returns for another year but with an all new deep metallic red colour with silver components and finishing kit. A slightly more classical, toned-down look than previous years, but perhaps a bit more timeless, after all, the solid spec should ensure years of hassle-free pedalling.

A bike originally conceived for conquering long distance paths, this bike has become a super commuter in its own right. Stand beside any cycle highway in London at rush hour and I can guarantee you will see at least one of these elegant steel steeds fly past

With drop bars paired with Versa shifters for maximum ride comfort and all-day efficiency, a comfortable Reynolds 520 Cro-Mo steel frame and fork and a parts list that’s both reliable and minimal, it’s perfectly suited to anything from the daily commute to inspiring epic rides. Add a frame bag, mudguards, a rear rack and rolled-up bivi gear and it could be the inspiration for an epic lifestyle change.

Reynolds 520 Steel

Features

Reynolds 520

Using the same alloy as Reynolds 525 butted cromoly tubing but made under license for Reynolds in Taiwan to their same exacting standards and high quality. Reynolds 520 tubing enables affordable and easier access to a Reynolds steel-framed bicycle.

Rack & Mudguard Ready

Large clearances and eyelets for full-length mudguards and front and rear racks mean the Day One morphs quickly and effortlessly into an all-weather load carrier. Tour and expedition ready!

Shimano Alfine 8

Shimano's robust 8sp 'everything inside' internal hub gear offers a wide gear range and mile after mile of low maintenance, hassle-free riding and complements the clean aesthetic of the Day One nicely.
