The Chainlink

You may have seen a sneak peak at the 10k party last night, or at the Comfort Station bike day, but we're making it official.

***

We've refined our transportation bike into a model named the Rambler. 

It comes in three frame styles - Step-Through, Diamond, and now, Disc Brake

We have a standard build which includes a single speed belt drive, hub based brakes, Generator lighting, full fenders and rack for $1,750

You can find more details about the Rambler Here on our website

And you can find out more about the ordering process on this page

Let us know what you think!

I am not currently in the market for a new city bike and I love my LHT, but I cannot imagine comparing it to these frames.  If I decide I need a new city bike, Legacy's new frames (now that Levi realizes that short people deserve good bikes, too :-)) would be at the top of the list to think about.  The bike is elegant, low maintenance, and the dynamo hubs are very appealing.  Looking like great transportation bikes.

Mutters to self (you do NOT need another bike!)

Don't be absurd!

Jeff, Drewbacca--STOP IT.  I know all about n+1.

Hope Erin will have one of those at the Women Bike Chicago event on April 12, though. :-)

She definitely will, We can have two or three bikes there (if someone wants to test ride one the 2.6 miles between the park and shop)

The XSM size now has a single speed belt drive and drum brakes - that will be there, and probably the Yellow disk brake version.

Should Lisa bring her checkbook or will you offer her terms?

I assume that Lisa will be given one for free in exchange for publicizing the bicycle and for riding it around the city....

I'm the proud owner of a Legacy Frameworks Model 2 (what the step through was called last year).  I love my bike.  Levi has been absolutely great to work with.  We have an e-mail chain going that's probably approaching 100 msgs.  He's answered every question, offered suggestions and options, and been really patient.  After riding various crappy stock bikes over the years, I was determined to get exactly what I wanted.  I did a ton of research and test rode a bunch of different bikes.  Alas, a fully customized, built-just-for-me bike was out of my budget.  But Legacy offers something very close.  I chose the seat, handlebars, grips, brakes, hub, basket, paint color, rack, etc.  Worth every penny AND I supported a small local business.  If you're in the market for a bike (and aren't we all?) and it fits your budget, give Legacy a chance.

Just saw that the Rambler is listed among Momentum Magazine's 5 Great Commuter Bikes with Gates Carbon Drive.

Thanks Bruce, we were proud to be listed with some some great companies and bikes.

These are closer comparisons to the Rambler.

Beautiful bike!

This is sort of a piddly note, but disc brakes require pad replacements, too.

Thanks David,

These are the first models I have put disc brakes on, what would you say the life of a standard disc brake pad set is, with moderate use, compared to rim brake pads?

I'm curious. 

Unfortunately I can't tell you from personal experience, as I do not have any disc-equipped bikes. Given similar mu for the pads I would expect pad life to be greater than for rim brakes given the same riding conditions, but IIRC most disc brake pads are organic, generally similar to the composition of organic automotive brake pads. Regardless of all that, having a braking surface that is not picking up gritty road spray from the tire goes a long way towards extending pad life.
