The Mercury is the perfect blend of speed and simplicity which amounts to the ideal high speed commuter bike. The Mercury's tight angles are perfect for twisting through gridlock and dodging pedestrians while still getting to work on time. The single speed drive removes the process of gear selection while still delivering acceleration and cruising speed. The flip flop hub provides the option for free wheels for those that don't prefer the direct drive, and pre-install brakes make stopping safe and easy without buying any extra hardware.
Alpha Mercury Feature Set
The strong and durable frame, combined with 36 hole wheels provide excellent protection against even the worst city streets. High pressure Kenda 700x23 tires allow quick sprints while still cushioning against bumps. The Ergo-Fit frame allows for more clearance when standing over the frame. Bullhorn handlebars provide an upright seating position with many hand positions. The Tektro RX4.1 triathlon levers provide positive and powerful braking to Tektro dual-pivot road brakes. Replaceable brake cartridges make pad replacement quick and easy. The 1/8 inch BMX-style chain is strong enough for any rider and included chain tensioners keep the chain from falling off and the back wheel centered.
