Swobo Folsom
The one-speed, coaster-brake, knock-around Folsom begs to be ridden with one hand on the bars and the other around a box of cans. With no brake levers to grab, you will always have one hand free for waving, not drowning. Remember the thrill of laying down a huge skidding fish-tail? This bike will make you laugh.
We wanted a kicked-back urban bash-mobile that can be dropped, stepped on, bike-piled and launched. All our bikes can be ridden in jeans, but the Folsom can be ridden in a snowmobile suit.
The frame is oversize round and box section aluminum. Light and tough. Our beefy rear-entry dropouts have an integrated hub adjuster/chain-tensioning screw; a nice detail if you ever want to retro fit a single-speed non-coaster brake hub into the frame.
With some BMX dust thrown into the look, feel and ride, it begs to be beaten into submission. Both front and rear hubs are bolt-on. Tires, handlebars, stem and pedals are BMX bomb-proof.
Optional front brake and lever available. Check in Hard Parts. Like all the Swobo bikes, it sports our exclusive fork, saddle, grips, seat collars and handlebar end caps. Our custom 4" rise handlebars are designed to work with a wide range of human hand, arm positions, and lengths for stand-up, push or sit-down riding styles. Front and rear disc mounts.
Matte Black finish is coated with a super-hard matte clear coat. Two sizes, no fooling around.
