Specialized says of their new Roll 8:
“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.
- Premium Reynolds Cr-Mo frame with custom cast dropouts is light, simple and durable with custom stainless seat stay link for belt drive
- Extremely durable lugged Cr-Mo fork with classic lines and custom cast dropouts with integraded alloy washer, built to withstand any urban obstacle
- Cutsom 700c box section rims with sleeve joint and stainless eyelets build a comfortable, strong, and beautiful wheel for hitting the city streets
- Sure-shifting Shimano Alfine 8-speed internal hub provides super low-maintenance riding in any weather
- Gates Center Track carbon belt drive means the quiet, clean, super low-maintenance performance”
