Reid Cycles Osprey Elite 2016 Medium Road Bike Grey

Upgraded spec for a slick all-round Road riding performer. This medium framed Osprey is the perfect fit for those riders looking for a distance or fast, everyday use Road bike. The Osprey Elite offers the right balance between lightweight speed and a more upright, traditional Road riding posture to make it the ideal go-to bike for the regular rider who likes to fly. The 2016 Elite is an upgrade over our standard Osprey Road Bike, using the same outstanding frame and fork, but upgrading the gearing with the latest 2015 Shimano Sora shifters, derailleurs and triple-chainrings for a wider range of gears.

Stepping up to the Reid Osprey Elite will allow you to experience the speed and efficiency of a high-end road bike at a very affordable price. It has triple chainrings and a 9-speed cassette to give you a huge range of gears to flatten the hills and overcome the headwinds without sacrificing top-end speed. It's perfect for all-day epic rides, hill climbing, training rides, touring and commuting. Its rack and mudguard mounts mean that you can easily set it up with a rear rack and panniers.

The Alex double-walled aluminium alloy rims are light and strong. They're tough enough to suit an every day commuter or tourer, but light enough to enjoy long distance endurance rides or hill climbs. The Quando hubs are serviceable and adjustable for exceptional durability.

The Shimano Sora 30/39/50 tooth crankset is essentially a road compact crankset, with the addition of an extra, super low gear range for climbing serious hills with a load. Combined with a 12 to 15 tooth 9-speed rear cluster this gives a wide, evenly spaced range of gears. Shimano Sora shifters and derailleurs give outstanding reliability and performance. The Tektro dual-pivot alloy caliper brakes provide great stopping power, excellent modulation and easy adjustment. Integrated brake and gear levers (Shimano STI) means that you can brake and change gears without moving your hands from the hoods of the dropbars. Sealed bearings in the bottom bracket and a threadless 1-1/8"" headset make for minimal maintenance.
