Halden Commuter

The Commuter is built around a Gates belt and an 8-speed internal hub, so the drivetrain runs clean through a Norwegian winter without attention. Hydraulic disc brakes, a front dynamo feeding both lights, and 47 mm tyres that take cobbles and tram tracks without fuss.

Fenders and a rear rack are fitted in the workshop, not sold as extras. The riding position is upright enough to see over traffic and relaxed enough for an hour.
