“No. 22 Bicycle Company was born out of a desire to strike equilibrium between enjoyment and performance.” –  No. 22 Bicycle Company

Lovely No. 22 Drifter Adventure

“We build bicycles for the rider who appreciates perfectly tuned ride quality as much as stiffness and low weight—the rider who loves to ride for riding’s sake. Our point of departure is frame material: we fell in love with the ride of titanium and named our company after it. We then took to the task of sweating details of fit and finish. Our frames are based on carefully considered geometries and tubing profiles. We use the highest grades of titanium tubing available, build our frames in our own production facility in the United States with our veteran craftsmen, and confidently back them with our ten year warranty.”

No. 22 Bicycles Drifter Adventure: “Starting with our award-winning Drifter, the Drifter Adventure is for riders seeking more. Additional tire clearance and compatibility for 1X drivetrains only allows the Drifter Adventure to run larger tires to take your adventures further off the beaten path.”

“A bevy of standard mounts—seat tube, top of down tube, underside of down tube, bento, rack, fender and dynamo—let you bring more with you. Subtly revised handling allows the Drifter Adventure to make the most of its capability with good on-road manners, and poise when trails get rough.”
