It never fails; the best sets of trails are usually a hike, and more times than not, that hike usually involves some hills. Enter our 1.8. This is the Dr. Jekyll to our 1.3's Mr. Hide. Able to handle anything its single-speed brother can, the 1.8 with its 8-speed rear cassette gets you up and over those rollers without killing you in the process. And just like our 1.3, with its Six-Shooter convertible dropouts, you can convert this into a single-speed bike in no time flat. No more having to choose between a single speed and a geared bike; with the 1.8 you can have them both.
