Montague’s Boston Single Speed Folding Bicycle

Folding bicycle manufacturer Montague Cycles has announced a new line of 700c road bikes, including its first ever full-sized single speed. The Boston model includes a flip-flop hub, allowing to transform the bike from a traditional free-wheel single speed to a track ready “fixie.” 

It features a 42x16t drivetrain, which is considered ideal gearing for city riding.

A flip of the quick release turns a full-sized off road machine into a compact package that is ready to travel. While actual folding time is reported to be about 20 seconds, we’d recommend you take your time, but we’re sure you probably have a minute or to spare to do it right.
