The one-speed, coaster-brake, knock-around Folsom begs to be ridden
with one hand on the bars and the other around a box of cans. With no
brake levers to grab, you will always have one hand free for waving,
not drowning. Remember the thrill of laying down a huge skidding
fish-tail? This bike will make you laugh.
We
wanted a kicked-back urban bash-mobile that can be dropped, stepped on,
bike-piled and launched. All our bikes can be ridden in jeans, but the
Folsom can be ridden in a snowmobile suit.
The
frame is oversize round and box section aluminum. Light and tough. Our
beefy rear-entry dropouts have an integrated hub
adjuster/chain-tensioning screw; a nice detail if you ever want to
retro fit a single-speed non-coaster brake hub into the frame.
With some BMX dust thrown into the look, feel and
ride, it begs to be beaten into submission. Both front and rear hubs
are bolt-on. Tires, handlebars, stem and pedals are BMX
bomb-proof.
Optional front brake and lever available. Check in Hard Parts.
Like all the Swobo bikes, it sports our exclusive fork, saddle, grips,
seat collars and handlebar end caps. Our custom 4" rise handlebars are
designed to work with a wide range of human hand, arm positions, and
lengths for stand-up, push or sit-down riding styles. Front and rear
disc mounts.
Matte Black finish is coated with a super-hard matte clear coat.
Two sizes, no fooling around.
Swobo reserves the
right to make small spec changes in the course of production.
