New Albion Microbrew: Upright Mini Velo Build

This is a size 53cm with Soma Oxford 56cm bars. A very relaxed and upright ride compared to the drop bar build we showed you first. Nice for casual urban riding. A regular riser bar might be more practical to tackling climbs or sprinting. But gearing was pretty good for SF's hills. You don't need a 11-36t cassette when you have smaller wheels.


  • Pake SS Crank 44t with 11-28t 10-speed SRAM cassette in the back
  • Sunrace RS30 trigger shifter
  • Soma Oxford Bar and Sutro Stem
  • IRD Cafam 2 Cantilever Brakes with IRD Sylvan Brake Levers
  • Kenda 20 x 1-3/8 (37mm) tires (fattest we could find)
