Driggs 3

I got my Driggs 3 customized with the "Relaxed Ride Handlebars" (I didn't love the swept-back look), and I'm really happy with how it turned out! The bike looks very stylish and I've been having fun decking it out with accessories: Retro headlamp, leather top tube protector, leather U-Lock holster, clip-on messenger bag, etc. It makes me want to go out riding every day.

The quality seems generally good to me, but I am no expert. The internally-geared hub seems like magic at first. The 3 speeds are plenty for my short commute down the bike path.

I didn't quite understand the size of the bike until I saw it in person. Even the Medium feels quite big! Mostly long - still easy to step over. I dig it. (For reference I'm 5'10".)

The delivery/build experience had a few wrinkles - I think I was the first customer in my area. There were some communication issues with the local bike shop, and not everything was set up & adjusted correctly at first. Not a big deal, everything worked out in the end and I figure it's just part of the price you pay for a cool, unique item from a small business. (Ryan: I would suggest working on a very clear set of instructions/checklist for your local partners so that they know exactly what is expected in the future.)

A few more observations:
- The seat is pretty firm. I've gotten used to it already (after adjusting the position/tilt a bit), but if I were riding longer distances I would consider an upgrade.
- Curbs/potholes feel like a big jolt compared to my last bike, probably because of the thinner tires? For a city/commuter bike, it would be nice if it handled those jolts a bit better.
- I wish there was a color-matched chain guard available, I would have paid extra.

Overall I'm very happy with it. I'm not a serious cyclist, so I prioritized style & overall joy and it's succeeded wildly on that front! I do think there is some room for improvement, both on the customer experience and on the bike itself.

I wanted a smooth and comfortable ride for bopping around town and getting groceries, and I got it. For the money, it would be tough to find a better value out there for a new ride.
The materials used, welding, sealed bearings and geometry are all top notch. The double-butted chromoly steel frame has a good bit of flex also, which makes for a very forgiving ride. I decided to swap out a few components to suit my style and needs, but the stock kit is thoughtfully put together.

Most of all, Ryan and the team at BBC are amazing! It was like talking to friends in person. I felt very good with this purchase from start-to-finish.

I recently bought and assembled a Driggs 3 speed and gifted it to my son. It's a really nice ride, and a great value for the price.

I had my eye on this bike since I got back from Copenhagen last fall. I've been wanting to replace my beach cruiser with a more stylish, European/commuter bike but I didn't want to skimp on quality. This bike has it all - great style and extremely well made. I stopped by the showroom when in NYC for a test ride and everything about these bikes are top notch. I've had it for about a month now and absolutely love riding it because it's so comfortable. The 3 speed internal hub on this bike is of much better quality than my experience with other bikes. I love how it puts you a little more upright on while riding for a much more comfortable ride in my opinion. You won't be disappointed with buying this bike. It's totally worth it.

I don't write reviews often but the bike and the company deserve it. I was looking for a new bike that was upright, fairly light, easy to pedal and had vintage styling. I live in the suburbs and have small kids so the bike mainly is used for family time and Saturday morning farmers market runs. The build quality, design and parts are all top notch for a bike in this category and price range. I did my research and it was down to the Lynus and Brooklyn Bicycle. I chose the Driggs. Ryan and Danielle spent a lot of time answering my questions and making sure I was happy. If there was an issue they fixed it. This was the biggest selling point to me and why I'm a repeat customer. Simple, provide a great product and great service.

The bike is great and I enjoy it so much I purchased my wife a Willow 3 (she got jealous of how effortlessly I was pedaling along). Of ccourse I purchased a few accessories to like a helmet, bike lights (I really like the BB set), panniers, chain gaurdframe bike lock, new seat, grips and a bell (ding!). Some of these I purchased directly from BB and if they didn't have it they helped me find it. If you're looking for this type of bike in this price range then you'll find the short list of quality providers. Great bicycle!

I first have to say that Ryan at BB was so patient and helpful, I must have tested every bike in their showroom and I was still undecided. In the end I went with my gut and bought the Driggs. I swapped the seat for the Willow, which has been much more comfortable. The Driggs fulfills my criteria that it must look great and be a laid back ride for commuting. I've only had a few rides (before I shipped her to our new home in Australia) but I'm very happy with how it handled the uneven roads of Brooklyn and even in strong winds, I managed to find a comfortable speed. She also gets so many admiring looks, it pains me to attach a U-lock to her. Overall, a great valued bike that has so much charm and a perfect commuting bike for the scenic-route enthusiasts.
Thank you BB team!
