The XOXO Final Order Has Been Placed!
Expected Ship Date For Complete Bike Orders: August 15, 2021
The bikes available now are the limited extra we needed to order to fulfill minimums. In most cases there are just 1 or 2 of each size and color. If it shows out of stock or you cannot add it to a cart, we are sorry but it is too late and we will not order any more of this item.
The 1 x 11 Build
In the cockpit area, this bike is the same. The huge difference is in the drivetrain. A 1 x 11 drivetrain provides a huge range with the simplicity of a single chainring crankset, thus eliminating the left shifter and front derailleur. We are using a 42t chainring, paired with a 11-42 cassette. For bike camping, touring, and commuting, the 1 x 11 option is great for the simplicity.

COMPLETE BIKE OPTIONS
This time around, we are offering the XOXO as a complete in two different drivetrain configurations. Both come stock with a moustache bar and bar end shifters. One is an update on the classic 2x configuration, but now with a 10 speed rear. The other is this uber modern update with a 1 x 11 wide range configuration. We have sourced a close cousin to the original Araya rims and have paired them with retro style sealed bearing Formula hubs. We are hand building each wheel in-house at Handsome in our new Handsome Handbuilt Wheelhouse led by master wheel builder Eric Lyngaas of Northern Rose Bicycles.
The Wheelset
Let's face it, a quality rim brake sealed bearing 11 speed compatible 26" wheelset in silver is about impossible to find these days. You know what else isn't just floating around everywhere? Araya rims. That's right, we are hand building each and every wheelset for these sweet babies and keeping it old skool.
Wheelset Specs
Araya TM-840F silver 32 hole rims
Formula RB-25 sealed bearing front hub
Formula RB-2611 sealed bearing 11s compatible rear hub
Cassette spacer for 7-10s cassettes
Stainless 2.0 spokes, brass nipples
The Moustache Bar
From The Retrogrouch
"The inspiration for the mustache bar came from bikes in Japan where many schools would ban kids from riding bikes with drop bars -- the belief apparently being that drop bars encouraged reckless riding habits. The semi-drop bars that these bikes used had a shape that was something almost between a flat bar and a drop bar which still allowed a fairly "sporty" riding position. The mustache bar adapted the shape, giving it more width and a bit more reach, making it suitable for American adult hands. Despite being a new, innovative shape, it had an oddly old-fashioned "retro" appearance -- making it both new and yet oddly familiar at the same time. It wasn't hard to imagine riders in the '90s (1890s, that is) riding on similar handlebars. Petersen and the folks at Bridgstone apparently loved them. The bicycling press apparently hated them."

Also, here is a rather scholorly look at the Moustache Bar.
