The Homebrew is a traditional road bike with classic style. It looks speedy with its red paint job and skinny steel tubes, but we outfitted it with ample braze-ons for front and rear racks, full coverage fenders, and even mini front racks for supporting a handlebar bag. Perfect for all day rides or just a short trip to the local brewpub.

- Hill friendly gearing: Thanks to its smart 11-32t rear cassette, it has wider gearing than 90% of road race bikes out there.
