Co-Motion Espresso

Co-Motion makes some fantastic bikes, both tandems and "single" bikes. Most of the Co-Motions that go out of here at Willy Bikes are either tandems or touring/commuter bikes. However, they also make some really great road bikes, like the Espresso.

The Espresso is a classic steel road bike with modern touches, like slightly sloping geometry and a carbon fork. All with the smooth feel of steel. Oh and the bike weighs 17.35lbs (without pedals).

Not only is the Espresso light and smooth, it looks good too!

Co-Motion does great work with their paint jobs.

King headset and clean welds go well together.

The Espresso we have on the floor is built with a Shimano Ultegra 6700 group.

Ritchey WCS stem and bar are light, stiff and offer a nice bend that works well with the Ultegra 6700 levers.

The Espresso frame is well thought out with features like a pump peg.

The Espresso has replaceable dropouts that can be changed to horizontal ones so that the bike can be ridden as a single speed or geared.

Overall the Espresso, like all of Co-Motion's bikes, is a great package that is highly versatile and rides fantastic.

Stop in and take a Co-Motion for a test ride, but be warned, you'll love it!
