Budnitz No.1 Steel City Bike - 2019, Medium

The Budnitz No. 1 stands out as a sculpted, Steel-built city cruiser with a smooth, almost effortless ride feel, elevated here with a suite of Budnitz upgrades that sharpen both function and personality. Its titanium stem, handlebar, and brake levers keep the cockpit light and responsive, while Avid BB7-MTN mechanical discs add reliable stopping power without complicating maintenance. The Gates Carbon Drive CDX 1x1 setup keeps things whisper-quiet and grease-free, delivering a clean, direct connection to the road that suits everything from relaxed neighborhood spins to quicker urban commutes. This build captures the Budnitz ethos perfectly—simple, elegant, and engineered for the long haul.
