Bike Build — Public V7i
Mean Green Commuting Machine –
Recently, one of our customers came to us asking for a PUBLIC V7i for city commuting. PUBLIC Bikes is one of the best selling bicycle brands we carry here at Bell’s Bike Shop and many people love the look and style of these city rides. At Bell’s we build each one for each customer from the ground up, paying close to attention to their wants and needs. This customer stressed they wanted a bike that could easily handle Philly’s streets (but with a custom touch) and gave Bryan free reign to mix up the parts a bit. This was the end result and we think it looks pretty darn good. Check out the photo gallery above and bike check below for this sweet city ride!
