The name “Light Roadster” really says it all. This bike is the most versatile, well equipped, comfortable machine for everyday and every where riding. This bike can be described as long, low, stable and comfortable [even for long rides] and with a level riding position that gives the perfect combination of balance of all the pressure points [saddle, pedals and grips].
The handcrafted TIG welded heat treated True Temper steel frame is built to your body size and flexability as well as correct crank and stem length. The main design is based on a 700c x 35mm tire [32mm an option], but can also be built for 26″ x 1.75 wheels.
The LR can be fitted with a variety of drive trains to suit your terrain and physical capabilities. The mainstay of the drive train choices is the Shimano Alfine 8 speed internal gear hub. This choice of hub gives a very good low and mid range gearing with the no-nonsense shifting and no maintenance.
You can also opt for a single speed [$1,995.00] or triple crank derailleur system. [$2,200.00] or Rohloff 14 internal gear version [$3,595.00 requires different rear dropouts]
The LR has a fine compliment of components that not only perform well under all conditions, but enhance your riding and commuting experience to the point where you may make this “the only bike that you want to ride”.
Some of these features are an ANT made steel stem with brass bell mount, full metal fenders, leather saddle and grips, dual leg kick stand, chainguard and cantilever brakes.
The real stand out and useful equipment are the hand built wheels with a front Shimano dyno hub sending power to the B&M IQ Fly plus LED headlight [that is a mouth full] and the B&M 4D Lite plus fender mounted tail light [the best lighting system ever]. As a secondary headlight I use a Planet bike Blaze 1 watt LED AA battery light, which also works well for road side repairs etc…
Both of the head lamps are attached to the included front flatbed rack, with lights mounted below, protected and out of the way as well as giving great road lighting. This rack can carry a bag of groceries and any other items you do not want to carry on your back. This rack is used in conjunction with a Delta bungee net to hold down most anything.
Each bike has a brass acid etched ANT name plate with no other obnoxious logos…very clean and sedate.
You have a choice of 21 powder coat colors for the frame, fork, stem and rack[s] along with a choice of either Black or Brown for the saddle, tires and grips/tape.
The stem and rack come as either black or silver or your choice of the 21 ANT colors.
The fenders, chaingaurd and handlebar can be powder coated at an additional cost. You can have everything the same color or mix and match to personalize your look.
An ANT rear rack can be added at an additional cost. A full list of additional options are on the options page [link at top].
