Swobo Fillmore 8-Speed, RAF Blue Review

Named after the renowned music venue, a street in San Francisco or perhaps an infamous pimp who lives there, the 2013 revision of this bike features an array of bells and whistles including 8-speed Shimano Alfine hub and disc brakes, making it an eager recipient for whatever you have to dish out. To assist in avoiding the dreaded wet weather ‘poo butt’, we threw on fenders to help keep you looking presentable after you’ve arrived at your destination.  Rounding out the city-style package are custom Swobo grips, saddle, chainguard and machined alloy handlebar end plugs. The Fillmore is available in 5 sizes. Details: Classic steel frame and fork for smooth ride. Eight speeds for climbing, descending and everything in between. A sealed internal hub. Puncture resistant tires, which if they had a nose, would be thumbed at glass, nails and any other hidden hazards in your path. 130mm rear hub spacing. A custom chainguard to protect your pants (assuming you’re wearing any) and fenders to keep grime out of that winning smile. Approximately 25 pounds (varies by frame size).
