SOMA RUFUS MINIVELO FRAME

Product Description

Whether you need an agile commuter, a capable grocery getter, or just a cruiser for fun and fitness, Rufus is ready! 

The low slung frame when shod with fat BMX tires obviously invites you to tear around the neighborhood and camp trails. But its utility can't be ignored. While it has a nice and low standover height which is great for shorter riders and casual riders, there is amble room for a frame bag, a large front basket and rear rack. The smaller wheels also get rolling with less effort and stop easier than larger bike wheels.

Is it possible to have the feel of a normal size bike but takes up less space in your apartment and on the train?

While we've designed Rufus to ride pretty much like a normal sized bike, it does have a less cumbersome length and that means fewer dirty looks when wheeling it into an elevator or commuter train. It also takes up less space in your apartment or car. And when you are carrying your bike up some stairs, there isn't the annoying wheel and bar flopping as with larger tires.

The unusual geometry of the Rufus also allows the cockpit length to expand as you raise the saddle height, which (if built with the right parts) means one bike can fit a range of heights. Multiple family members could share one bike. Or you can loan it to a shorter or taller friend!
