Designed for beating traffic and slaying side streets, the Raleigh Rush Hour is a fixed gear single speed steel bike with Satori track handlebars for a more aggressive road riding position. It was inspired by Nelson Vails—the first African-American cyclist to win an Olympic Medal in cycling, but whose roots are in the bike messenger world. The bike boasts a steel frame, straight-blade steel fork, and fixed/free capabilities (to run as a single speed or fixed gear), as well as removable brake hardware/cable guides for a clean look. The frame features meaningful original illustrations by Vails’ best friend and graffiti artist, Zephyr.
A 2018 Raleigh Rush Hour is typically priced around $400 USD when new. Be sure to shop around for the best price, and also look to the used market for a great deal.
