Allegro A1
FUN=FITNESS, FITNESS=FUN
Musically speaking, Allegro means quick and lively, which exactly characterizes the spirit of our Allegros: fitness bikes that are lively, quick and seriously fun to ride. Our Allegros blend the speed and efficiency of a road bike with the heads up riding position many people prefer.
LIGHTWEIGHT & PRECISION FEEL
When it comes to fitness training and peak performance, nothing is more detrimental to flying fast than carrying more weight than you need to. Which is why every Allegro is built with lightweight triple butted 6061 aluminum tubing. In fact, our aluminum Allegro frames shed 14 ounces over their steel Coda counterparts. We design comfort into the naturally stiffer ride by specifying large volume 32c tires, using similar geometry as our Codas and then adding a few millimeters to the wheelbase length for just a tad more compliance.

Our Boss Cruiser is what we’d call seriously casual—designed to be low maintenance, built for comfort, but with the durability to be ridden every day for years on end. The versatile Boss Cruiser 7 gets you up to speed with a Shimano drivetrain and safely to a stop with dual hand brakes.
Legendary Frame Design
These one-piece single-loops stays with trailing dropout plate have been a Boss signature since 1980. Reducing the number of rear triangle welds makes these frames stronger and stiffer. And we don’t have to swage the tubes to a smaller diameter to mate with standard tabbed dropouts, allowing the stays to remain near constant in diameter, yielding an even stronger frame with a bigger, bolder style.
Lightweight
Many cruisers weigh well north of 40 pounds. Not so with the Boss! Because nothing gets more uncomfortable faster than having to pedal more weight than necessary, we’ve pared as many grams from these bikes as we could. Starting with the lightweight aluminum frame and a parts pick that’s nearly all lightweight alloy parts. The results are bikes just north of 30 pounds that are easy to pedal and more fun to ride.
Perfect Fit
All Boss frame sizes offer an extra long stem quill and head tube and hi-rise handlebars for a comfortable, upright ride position.
Easy To Sit On
The Boss Saddle is as plush as it gets—quilted top, wide body, fully stuffed, and double-loop springs
Smooth Rolling Tires
Our comfort tires have been designed to roll smoothly on pavement, but offer a large 2.35” footprint so that rides on park paths can be managed securely. The additional benefit of that big footprint is larger air volume in the tire and tube, which results in lower air pressure for a more comfortable ride than tires with smaller volumes and higher air pressures.
Comfortable Steering
Our cruise-control handlebars were designed to promote a comfortable no-weight-on-the-wrists riding position. With just the right sweep and rise, these handlebars meet the rider’s hands without requiring a forward bend at the waist, relieving pressure on the back of the neck. Handlebar width has also been carefully calculated so that when steered from left to right it does not contact the rider, unlike many other cruiser-style handlebars.
Rust Resistant
Many of the parts specified on our Boss bikes are made of aluminum to save weight, but also to help preserve the finish of the bike. Aluminum parts include the seat post, seat clamp, stem, rims, front hub, kickstand and crank arms.

PERFECT FIT
All Boss frame sizes (and there are six to assure the best possible fit for greater comfort and more secure handling) offer an extra-long stem quill and head tube and hi-rise handlebars for a comfortable, upright ride position
EASY TO SIT ON
The Boss Saddle is as plush as it gets—quilted top, wide body, fully stuffed, double-loop springs—and is offered in both male- and female-specific lengths and widths. The Taxi saddle is as durable as it gets, with an extra-thick 3 mil cover to resist puncture, a flat top that won’t pool water when the Taxi is parked in the rain, box section rails that will never bend, and double-loop springs that comfortably support passengers.

Many of the parts specified on our Boss are made of aluminum to save weight, but also to help preserve the finish of the bike. Aluminum parts include the seat post, seat clamp, stem, rims, front hub, kickstand, and crank arms. We’ve even specified a specially treated chain on the Taxi that protects the chain against rust in even the harshest conditions. In fact, this coating increases the rust-resistance of the chain up to 500 times (!) that of a regular chain.
Boss Coaster is what we’d call seriously casual— designed to be low maintenance, built for comfort, but with the durability to be ridden every day for years. Sometimes, all you need is one gear and a coaster brake, and that’s just what you get. The Boss Coaster keeps it simple, so you can keep smiling. Laid-back cruiser bars and a double-sprung saddle let you keep your chill all day long, and cushy tires iron out the boardwalk and choppy roads for silky-smooth cruising.

OWNING CITY STREETS FOR 30 YEARS
Our Codas have been some of our most popular bikes for decades, and for good reason. There's the smooth-riding Reynolds chromoly frames, the well-thought-out geometry, the heads-up riding position and the smart component selections, from the super-wide gearing range to the easy-adjust stems: these bikes are simply some of the best and most versatile around.
THE BUTTERY RIDE OF QUALITY STEEL
We're famous for our steel bikes and the Codas have a lot to do with that. No frame material makes more sense on beat-up city streets than steel. Why? Hit a baseball with a wooden bat and then hit one with an aluminum bat and you'll know why. You want your frame material to soak up those streets, not beat you with them. And we use only the best: Reynolds cold-worked, double-butted chrome-moly steel.
