Fairlight Bikes Review
There s no limits to wheel types tyre size within the confines of a drop bar bike type of riding.
Fairlight bikes review. Which version of the fairlight are you looking at. 4 5 out of 5 star rating 4 5. In taking a plethora of tyre widths the new secan the latest model from young british company fairlight cycles can be pressed into action as a rugged off road bikepacking bike or shod with wide slicks mudguards and racks for the daily commute or multi day tour. Spec changes considered this is a near perfect all season road bike.
Had a bike fit and looks like i d be aiming for the 56r in the strael or a 54 on the mason. A steel adventure bike with dual frame geometry options and the ability to roll on multiple wheel sizes. Fairlight x bentley bottle opener. A look at fairlight cycles strael 2 0.
Fairlight rear dynamo light mount. Test centre currently closed. Fairlight has invested heavily in working with birmingham tubing manufacturer reynolds. 1 200km on all season pedigree steel bike.
Fairlight brass top cap. Happy to swallow tires up to either 650x57c or 700x45c the secan can be built in a myriad of ways and is happy being taken just about anywhere. Our test bike was fitted with an older version with 17 mm internal rims although fairlight tells us that new bikes will be fitted with 19 mm internal rims which should improve tire shape increasing width as a result. Comfort from the rear was especially superb although the front couldn t quite match its magic carpet feel.
Fairlight strael long term review. Made of mid level 631 tubing the slim squished top tube and bi ovalised down tube aren t just pretty but. Amazing comfort matched with impressive performance from what is one of the most confident handling bikes on the market. The fairlight was chosen over many options for fit comfort all surface ability all the mounts i can ever need and full fender capability.
You can specify either a t or tall frame geometry which is more relaxed or an r or regular geometry which has a lower more aggressive set up. I love it a true all weather bike.
