Do you know how The Windy City got its nickname? It has nothing to do with atmospheric conditions: when the city was first established, its new residents were such huge fans that newspaper reporters in other cities begun referring to them as the “Chicago Windbags.” And so a nickname was born. Much like those brave Midwesterners in the 1800s, we can’t stop singing the praises of our new bike: the Millennium Bean. Much like the iconic Cloud Gate sculpture, this shiny steel-framed bike will stand out even in a crowd. Retrospec was founded in 2009 in downtown Los Angeles to fulfill the need for a fixed-gear urban bicycle with transportation and style in mind. All of our frames are tig-welded and are available in many colors to fit your own unique style. We only use top quality components such as: Double walled super deep V wheels, 3 piece cranks, CST High Performance tires, Kraton rubber grips, riser style handlebars and KMC chains. With distribution on 6 continents and an ever-growing product line up, Retrospec is committed to providing you with a bike that is not only durable, but affordable as well.
