Overview
About this bike
If you love vintage style paired with modern cycling technology, the Raleigh Preston is your next ride. Based on the Raleigh heritage bikes of the 40s, 50s, and 60s, this classic steel single speed bike features mechanical disc brakes, oversized tires, a vintage leather saddle with huge round spring, and reversible copper handlebars that you can flip for a more aggressive or less aggressive riding position. The Preston also includes a handful of stylish details such as a chain wheel with the heritage Heron logo, etched brass metal plates on the top tube, copper handlebars, and burnished Heron Head insignias on the saddle.
