MODERN PAUL – 1-, 2- or 8-Speed Marvels

In the middle of the 1970s a half-dozen guys modified cruiser bikes into what they called CLUNKERS and piloted down the hillsides near San Francisco. Later, this hippie fun became known as mountain biking. For our MODERN SERIES, this rebellious history is inspiration and initiation. So we got to the bottom of it – with a big grin. Of course, mountain bikes were not made for the towns. So in 2007 we took MODERN PAUL and OTTO DUO to their birthplace, the legendary Repack, where they were honored by a fascinating ride with Joe Breeze. The Avid mechanical disc brakes are just as reliable as the modern 8-speed Alfine or, alternatively, the 2-speed Schlumpf bottom bracket gearbox. This drive – as well as the purist single speed configuration – is absolute understatement that makes challenging routes a lasting riding pleasure. You’ll find reliable current technology with enjoyable, subtle classic style.
