Public BikesM7 - Red - SmallMedium

The PUBLIC M7 mixte is our most affordable mixte bike, featuring the premium French-style step-through design and a wide range of gearing to satisfy the most discerning city riders. The classic diagonal mixte-frame design offers the ideal balance of a comfortable step-through frame, plus a sporty upright ride similar to our diamond frame PUBLIC V7 city bike, with more forward lean than our most upright step-through PUBLIC C7 Dutch bike. Compared to the premium PUBLIC M7i (internal), the new PUBLIC M7 features a Shimano Mega range derailleur gear system with the same simple twist shifting.The M7's step-through frame allows you to get on and off the bike gracefully in normal clothing and is a time-tested design used by women and men all over Europe. Perfect for everyday commuting as well as casual riding, the charming cream commuter tires offer great puncture-resistance and our signature smooth ride over the roughest of city streets. Its carefully crafted frame is handmade of durable, lightweight steel, and the complementing chainguard and full fenders keep your clothes clean and dry in all kinds of conditions. Strong dual-pivot brakes with quick release ensure you'll always have quick, safe stopping power close at hand. The curvy handlebars and refined antique brown saddle and handgrips offer a comfortable upright ride perfect for gliding through traffic with ease. Front and rear rack mounts accommodate a range of baskets and cargo racks, so you can let the bike do all the heavy lifting. The PUBLIC M7 is super comfortable, safe, and great for quick trips to the market, going to a meeting in a suit or dress, a weekend excursion to the beach or a casual cruise to brunch with friends. The PUBLIC M7 is an ideal everyday city bike with classic styling details. All PUBLIC bikes include painted to match rims, color coordinated cable housing, cream tires, and optional matching rear racks. You can further customize your PUBLIC with panniers, baskets, special grips, or other accessories to suit your personality and needs. The PUBLIC M7 brings a level of quality at an affordable price that's hard to beat. <strong>SPECS:</strong> <div><strong>FRAMESET</strong></div> <strong>Frame:</strong> PUBLIC chromoly hi-tensile blend, with fender and rack braze-ons <strong>Fork:</strong> PUBLIC hi-tensile steel unicrown fork, with fender and rack braze-ons <strong>Chainguard:</strong> Painted to match chainguard, steel <strong>Fenders:</strong> Painted to match, steel full fenders <strong>Kickstand:</strong> Alloy center mount <strong><br></strong> <div><strong>CONTACT POINTS</strong></div> <strong>Saddle:</strong> PUBLIC Comfort Saddle, 198mm wide, steel polished rails <strong>Grips:</strong> PUBLIC Comfort Grip <strong>Stem:</strong> Forged alloy quill stem, 25 degree rise, 25.4mm clamp <strong>Headset:</strong> 1" threaded, steel <strong>Pedals:</strong> Wellgo Alloy platform pedal, with rubber pads, 9/16" <strong>Handlebar:</strong> PUBLIC Brunch Bar, steel, 570mm wide, 75mm rise, 25.4mm clamp <strong>Seat Post:</strong> Alloy micro-adjust with integrated clamp, 27.2mm <strong><br></strong> <div><strong>DRIVETRAIN AND BRAKES</strong></div> <strong>Derailleur (R):</strong> Shimano Acera 7-speed <strong>Shifter:</strong> Shimano 7-speed Revoshift twist shifter <strong>Crank:</strong> Alloy crank set 170mm, 39T chainring with outer chainring guard, square taper <strong>Cassette:</strong> Shimano 14-34 tooth Mega Range freewheel <strong>Brakes</strong> Promax cold forged, high polish, alloy dual-pivot caliper, barrel adjuster, and with alloy 4 finger lever <strong><br></strong> <div><strong>WHEELS AND TIRES</strong></div> <strong>Tires:</strong> Kenda Kwest 700x35c <strong>Tubes:</strong> Schrader valve <strong>Rims:</strong> Painted to match, alloy single wall, machined brake surface <strong>Spokes:</strong> 14G Stainless steel <strong>Hubs:</strong> Alloy hub with bolt-on axle <strong>Weight:</strong> 32 lbs
