The Shillelagh

 

ideal rider- the old school hard core rider

Function over form.  The Old School Hard Core Rider views a bicycle as a utilitarian piece of equipment.  As necessary in every day life as a pair of shoes.  Make it strong.  Make it handle. Make it fast.  Make it last.   That, my friend, is what the OSHCR demands.  Make it cool.  Make it unique.  Make it mine. These are the things that the OSHCR deserve as well.  There is a package that offers everything. 


To the OSHCR I offer the Shillelagh, for those that like to hammer.  The Shillelagh is city-fied, pure fixie dream ride.  120mm hub spacing for that perfect chainline that fixies offer and built for all the riding that you want to dish out.  Typical geometry is 74 degree head and seat angle with short compact chainstays and horizontal top tube.  This set up delivers telepathic steering.  You think it, it goes.  Paired with a track fork it gets even snappier.  Pair it with a road fork and it is bit more mannered. Brakes?  You want brakes?  Fine, you can have them . . . on the fork.  Brakes on a fixie just mess up the nice clean lines.
