Overview
About this bike
Great for everyday transportation and light touring, the Ticino® picks up where bike builders of the 40s and 50s left off, giving it a true handcrafted feel not found in many of today’s cookie-cutter bikes. Named for an Italian influenced area of Switzerland, Ticino’s design aesthetic, craftsmanship and frame integrity are inspired by the vintage bikes once ridden throughout the region. The retro-inspired hubs, cranksets, chainrings, handlebars, forks, pedals and hammered-finish alloy fenders show classic craftsmanship. But this thing is far from a relic. When it comes to performance, the Ticino is decked with modern components custom-manufactured by Electra. But it’s more than just a pretty face. The Ticino sports fast-rolling 700c wheels and a lightweight frame, for a fine-tuned, smooth gliding ride. Love is in the details, and after one look at the Ticino you’ll be ready for a serious commitment. - Butted 6061 aluminum frameset - Investment-cast crown, tapered-leg, butted chromoly fork - Shimano 8-speed Claris drivetrain - Shimano Acera rapidfire shifter - Forged alloy crankset w/42t alloy chainring dual guards - Tektro cantilever brakes - 32h low flange hubset - Electra Elite double-wall alloy rims - 700 x 35c tires - Ticino dual-density saddle - Ticino touring pedals - Hammered alloy fenders
