SINGLEBE IRACK is the latest production from the czech craft-person Tomas, owner of SingleBe. The company designs and built (Handamade) steel frame since 2011.
What is always good with handmade bikes from company like Single Be , is that every model is unique and really tailored in the smallest details to answer customers dreams. The IRACK, contracted form of Integrated RACK, does not escape to this rules.

Design for a Czech city rider living in the nice german city of DRESDEN, this bike is the ideal machine to travel between home and workplace or shopping on a regular base. It features really nice equipment that make it a really reliable machine, it is critical when your bike is your main means of transport.
The transmission features a belt, from carbon gate, with a Shimano Alfine 11speed gearhub that bring great performance but with a very low maintenance, this is the ideal set up for commuter bike.

Wheels are unexpected because rims are...Mavic Open Pro tubular with Tufo Primus 33mm tubular tires, a not so usual set up on a commuter. Those tires are primary designed for a cyclo-cross use, but on this bike it allow the rider to either ride on regular road but if necessary also on light off road track. The front hub is a SHimano SLX 15mm.

With the SINGLEBE IRACK, something not so common on a commuter bike is introduced : an integrated rear rack wich is now a new option proposed by the Czech bikes brand. It makes one piece with the frame and it is very elegant. In case of rainy condition, the bike is equiped with Curana C-lite fenders that have the particularity to be elegant and stiff thanks to aluminium/plastic sandwich technology.

SINGLEBE IRACK is a really nice commuter handmade from Dedaccia Zero steel tube set. It features an integrated seatclamp and the SingleBE rigid and straight steel fork ! This fork, 1"1/8 steerer tube,  as the particularity to be designed for 15x100 thru axle. With a 71.5 degrees headtube angle, this bike is quite reactive to handle wich is perfect for an urban use in the middle of  the traffic. Bottom brackets drop is quite low (75mm) to keep the bike stable. Seattube is 73 degree while the shortest chainstay you can get with the tange slidding horizontal dropouts is 430mm.

The paint is made of 2 layers....cherry candy paint, which is put over orange metallic paint and that ensures great semi transparent effect.

To conclude...SINGLEBE IRACK is the ideal commuter that most of us could dream about. It brings together on the same bike an 11 speed gearhub coupled to a belt for efficiancy and low maintenance, an intergated rear rack with elegant fenders and fast rolling wheels for semi on-off road use. This is a bike ready to ride at every moment of the day.
