For flat bars, we didn't want some half baked 'flat bars stuck on a road frame' effort. We started with our award winning mountain bike frame layout, and optimised it around a longer, faster position for easy speed on the road. Long, low slung top tubes means no toe overlap or standover problems, and because of where the rider is positioned, mountain bikers used to central weight distribution and whipcrack singletrack handling will feel right at home. Just right for weaving through the morning traffic.

The bike spec follows the frame — no half-measures. Sweet Cotic Components 'CC' finshing kit, top grade cartridge bearing hubs, fast-but-smooth 28c tyres, and top drawer external bearing Shimano Alfine cranks driving a purring singlespeed drivetrain and you have the perfect low-maintenance tool for the discerning rider-about-town. More time riding, less time fettling.

This page has the specs for the 'long' ROADRAT built up as a complete bike with flat bars. Want drops? You need the complete 'short' ROADRAT. Want to choose your own equipment? You need a frame and fork package.
