Fixie riders are rewarded for their dedication with an elegant, simple riding experience that doesn't worry about frills and instead focuses on pure, unfiltered riding. Without shifters and derailleurs, there's no need to expend energy on shifting and much less time spent on bike maintenance.

Add in alloy dual caliper brakes for crisp stopping, lightweight high profile alloy rims, and a Schwinn urban seat with urban grips for key comfort touch points. Lightweight and sleek with efficient no-frills componentry, this is the fixie for people who love to ride. The Stites comes with a limited lifetime warranty for as long as you own the bike.
