COOPER BIKES – Hackett Cooper SingleSpeed & tourer

Steels Bike from COOPER BIKES : Hackett Cooper SingleSpeed & Hackett Cooper Tourer have a kinship with the British Mini Cooper. Indeed COOPER BIKES is COOPER CAR COMPANY cycling of division and launched its bikes range in October 2009 at the Earls Court Cycle Show. Mike Cooper commented: "The Cooper Car Company has always had a passion for bicycles and we have been thinking about diversifying the business for a while. We wanted to turn our engineering know how to making bicycles that offer the best possible components for the best possible price."

Hackett Cooper SingleSpeed & Hackett Cooper Tourer have something in common: the frame is the T200 model of the English brand. This framework is built using "legendary" tubes: Reynolds 531 that were introduced to the market in 1935 and available in ATB, surper tourist, competition, BMX, and pro .... They have the distinction of being both lightweight and durable. Today there are only produced on special request. Indeed, since the time they have been replaced by much worked tubes.

Both bikes are requesting British Brand for their equipments. Apart from Reynolds, the English clothing brand Hackett is part of the design team while COOPER BIKES remains in control of the engineering and BROOK are providing they famous leather saddle and grip.

The main difference between those 2 bikes is on the orientation given. On a side we have the SingleSpeed (FlipFlop hub) to ride with class and performance, on the other side a Touring with Campagnolo 20-speed transmission and the duo fender / rack very useful under a capricious weather if you want to ride along the beautiful English countryside.
