“No. 22 Bicycle Company was born out of a desire to strike equilibrium between enjoyment and performance.” – https://22bicycles.com
“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 Long-Term Review Video

In this video, JOM of the Gravel Cyclist crew presents his long-term review of the amazing No. 22 Bicycles Drifter. This gorgeous bike exudes quality at the highest level, the welds, anodizing, and Cerakote finish really need to be seen in person to be appreciated. JOM’s review bike is finished in a combination anodized / Cerakote finish known as Mojito Gold. All No. 22’s can be customized or built from a stock geometry chart (JOM’s bike is a stock 54cm), with many custom finishing options.
The No. 22 Drifter certainly is not in everyone’s price point, but when you consider the price of similar carbon machines from big name brands, the No. 22 is a far better buy. You get yourself a unique, custom one-off bike built for you, it stands out from the crowded sea of carbon bikes, and you can actually meet the builders of a No. 22 bicycle!

No. 22 Bicycles Drifter
“Pavement optional. Adventure mandatory.”
“Winner of multiple accolades including the NAHBS People’s Choice award, the Drifter is a bike designed for riders needing a capable bike on any road. With generous clearance for up to 45mm tires front and rear (or 50mm on 650B wheels), disc brakes with standard thru-axles and any-road capable geometry, the Drifter is the most versatile bike in our lineup.”
“The Drifter is a bike with stable, balanced handling through high speed gravel corners, but with quick enough responses to be ridden aggressively on-road.”
