Specialized Globe Roll SE

This Special Edition version of the Globe Roll comes in this limited edition dark grey frame finish with pink forks.

Upgrades over Globe Roll 2.

  • Limited edition paint job.
  • The saddle is riveted.
  • Specialized mix a 700x23 front All Condition tyre with a 700x28 rear, both with Flak Jacket puncture-resistant belts, to offer an optimal balance of speed and grip.

Same as Globe Roll 2.

  • Classic Reynolds 520 butted CrMo steel frame.
  • Extra durable steel fork built to withstand hops and skids.
  • The fork's CrMo legs and dropouts are one piece.
  • So are the handlebars and stem.
  • Bolt-on wheels with super high-profile deep V 700c rims.
  • The transmission is single speed.
  • The rear hub is flip flop for retro-fitting a fixed cog.
  • The top tube cable guides are removable - a desireable feature if you decide to run this bike in fixed mode sans rear brake.

I've been riding mountain bikes for 8 years on my 12-mile commute to and from work each day and was always resistant to anything remotely resembling a road bike.

Until now. This bike has been a revelation. It's simple and straightforward and harks back to what a bike used to be - no gears, no suspension, no weighty disc brakes.

But this is 2012 so things have moved on a bit - for one thing it weighs next to nothing.

It looks cracking and, surprisingly, has no big Specialized labelling. Instead you get a key which you can use to scratch your own designs into the grey paint (they'll show up pink like the forks).

The bike handles superbly on Edinburgh's busy roads, very nippy in rush-hour traffic.

Tough going on the uphill’s as you'd expect with no gears, but fairly flies everywhere else.

Definitely one of the best cycling buys I've made.
