Designed for street riding and track racing, Raleigh’s Teaba is a fixed gear single speed steel bike with higher-end componentry for serious riders. 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. This bike boasts a lightweight alloy frame, carbon fork, FSA stem and seat post, and fixed/free capabilities (to run as a single speed or fixed gear), as well as removable brake hardware/cable guides for a clean, finished look. The Teaba comes with bullhorn pursuit bars and toe clips (for legal racing), an extra set of riser bars to swap out for riding around town, and extra brake levers and grips. The frame features meaningful original illustrations by Vails’ best friend and graffiti artist, Zephyr.
A 2018 Raleigh Teaba is typically priced around $1,100 USD when new. Be sure to shop around for the best price, and also look to the used market for a great deal.
