Flat bar Road Bikes
Flat bar road bikes are a relatively new product in the industry. We think they are a great addition too. They are very versatile bikes. They enjoy the performance of a road bike with their narrow wheels, yet they double as great utility bikes since they also accept fenders, luggage racks and wider tires. Flat bar road bikes are designed so that you don't lean over quite so much on them as you do on a road bike. The entry level price points are also a little lower. A flat bar road bike is a good choice for that person who needs a commuter/utility bike for most of the week, but enjoys a bike with some performance for the fun rides on the weekend. Here's what we carry. (All models include an Intown water bottle.)
Jamis Coda
$525
We start things off with the Jamis Coda. Like all of the flat bar road bikes in Jamis's Coda series, it features a steel frame. The steel frame gives it a smooth ride, a little longer top tube lends it comfort, and the mid-range components keep it affordable.

Jamis Coda Femme
$525
This is the women's version of The Coda. Thus, it has a lower stand-over height and shorter top tube to better fit a woman's physique. Plus, it's very pretty. Why a Women's Bike?

Raleigh Cadent FT1
$545
The Cadent sports a light weight aluminum frame and mid-range components. The ride is light and lively. However, it's designed with a bit shorter top tube so you'll sit more upright on it. But don't let that fool you. It still retains the performance and versatility you'd expect in a nice, fast city bike.

Jamis Coda Sport
$650
The Coda Sport represents the medium priced spread in our flat bar road bike lineup. It's a very solid bike for $625. It's steel frame, steel fork, and upper mid-range components make it a work horse of a bike, yet it maintains the performance that makes it a joy to ride.

Jamis Coda Comp
$825
The Coda Comp is our finest flat bar road bike. It's a handsome bike sporting a steel frame, carbon fiber fork and upper-range components. The carbon fork trims the weight and gives the bike a very smooth, lively ride. The shifting is precise. It stops on a dime. It's one of those bikes that speaks for itself when you ride it. Although it makes a great utility bike, we think you'll enjoy it more for the shear performance.
