The Espresso

Although we aren't as well known for our singles as for our tandems, Co-Motion Cycles has built highly regarded single bicycles since 1988.

The Espresso successfully blends our past experience with new developments in tubing and welding technology. Thanks to forward-looking Reynolds UK, their advanced air-hardening 853 tubing is available in more possible tube combinations than any other bicycle tube. This new breed of steel alloy becomes stronger after welding, allowing for pared down weights competitive with titanium and aluminum. And, Reynolds 853 makes our size-specific tubing choices more effective than ever.

Choosing a road bike deserves more attention than simply looking for a tubing label. Mass-produced frames with the same tubing label often are made from a heavier selection of tubes, denying you full performance benefits. A test ride on the Espresso will show you what you've been missing: a crisp riding race bike that glides over the flats, climbs like a cat, and makes you crave curvy roads like never before. The 2001 Espresso is better than ever with the new, oversized carbon steerer Wound Up fork. We've also added more sizes and modernized the fit for today's threadless steering systems to make fitting just about anyone easier. Now more than ever, the Espresso is the ride you've been waiting for.
