Late Easter night, I told everyone the first “Urban Prodigy” was ready to go.
Now the second “Urban Prodigy” is ready to hit the road, followed closely by a third.
This second bike is also a Motobecane; it’s the Fantom 29. Yes, that is right - a 29er just as I promised. This is one SWEET RIDE. It’s a 17.5” frame for those mid-sized riders.
Here are the specs:

As you can see, there’s no skimping here. Most parts are OEM. I took this bike for a test ride on the county road behind Craig’s shop and I didn’t want to come back. With the Big Apple’s you don’t miss the shocks; these tires more then make up for that, but still roll like a street ride and they corner like they were made of glue. I also really like the New Origin 8 : 29" Black Ops Blade Chromoly Steel fork. It sure absorbs what little the tires miss.
As you can see from the pics (above and below) this bike is definitely a head turner.
Our price on this one will be $1499.00. If you’re interested LMK.
