<p>Come check out the new bicycle in our window. Globe’s hip new commuter bike gets even hipper when you find out the folks over at Specialized only made 275 of them. The one we have is number 187, and it can be yours. Smooth. Low-maintenence. Limited edition.</p>
<p><a href="/" rel="attachment wp-att-2811"></a></p>
<p>Specialized says of their new Roll 8:</p>
<div>“In a world filled with sketchy hipsters riding sketchier “fixies”, the Roll 8 RARE stands out. It’s premium Reynolds 720/520 Cr-Mo frame features custom touches that exude quality and craftmanship, while the 8-speed Alfine internal hub give a stealthy, weather-proof solution to riding around even the hilliest of cities.</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Premium Reynolds Cr-Mo frame with custom cast dropouts is light, simple and durable with custom stainless seat stay link for belt drive</li>
<li>Extremely durable lugged Cr-Mo fork with classic lines and custom cast dropouts with integraded alloy washer, built to withstand any urban obstacle</li>
<li>Cutsom 700c box section rims with sleeve joint and stainless eyelets build a comfortable, strong, and beautiful wheel for hitting the city streets</li>
<li>Sure-shifting Shimano Alfine 8-speed internal hub provides super low-maintenance riding in any weather</li>
<li>Gates Center Track carbon belt drive means the quiet, clean, super low-maintenance performance”</li>
</ul>
