MEC Mixed Tape Bicycle - Unisex

A nice compilation of components and the bonus track is the Nexus 7-speed internal hub from Shimano®. The internal hub allows you to switch gears anytime (stopped or moving) and requires much less maintenance than a bike with an external drivetrain. The Nexus 7 gives you extra gears to drop into when you're going up hills or carrying a 5kg sack of apples. Revo shifters have a simple, fluid action and a large indicator to show you what gear you're currently in. The Mixed Tape will sound fine for anyone with a relatively flat 9 to 5 commute, who rides through cross town traffic, and mixes in the occasional rolling country road.

• Lightweight, tapered aluminum frame
• 700 x 35mm tires are built for rolling on roads and dirt roads, pathways, or light trail use
• Shimano® Acera V-brakes (rim brakes) provide great stopping power
• Instead of derailleurs and cassettes, the Mixed Tape uses a Shimano Nexus 7-speed internally-geared hub that lets you shift gears any time, even while waiting at a stop light
• Upright seated position for visibility in traffic
• MEC Ergo grips provide less pressure on palms and wide, flat tops offer even weight distribution
• Waterproof-coated saddle with gel padding to absorb shock
• Flat MEC Moss pedals are easy to use
