Love for the Roebling
"Reliable and stylish"
"It looks awesome, rides super smooth and it's fast! " -Derek
"The Roebling is great for any terrain and creates an amazing riding experience. It is super light and perfect for small inclines."
"The Roebling is everything one would expect from a quality bike. It glides along and the gears are smooth and facilitate riding in hilly terrain." -Lutz
"...the kind of bike I think I always imagined bikes were supposed to feel like ever since I learned how to ride. She has almost too many gears for riding around Manhattan, but I cherish her. Absolutely delightful to ride."
Why is the Roebling better?
Puncture resistant tires
for all terrain, worry-free riding
Premium 4130 Chromoly frame for a lightweight yet forgiving ride
Premium Shimano derailleur for smooth shifting under any level of stress
Premium touring saddle for ensured comfort on all-day rides
Mounts galore for endless accessorizing, from front full-length fenders to rear racks
Double chainguard protector for ensuring your chain performs without dropping regardless of the terrain
The Roebling features all of the appropriate braze-ons to attach any commuter accessory you can think of. It's one set of fenders and a basket away from being ready for anything the world throws its way.

I've had my Roebling for around six months now. It's been a good experience. The key use for me is for utility rides, but sometimes for athletic rides too. Everything has really checked out with it. Brakes, gears, tires, etc. The layout with the bike tends to support my efficient ride style, where I want the speed I can get from it, where I'm tucked into it, and am able to respond to any traffic problems. I did have one flat early on with it and patched it. For myself, while the tires are good, and are the same size compared to what I sized down to on my Marin hybrid (35C) I'm planning on sizing down to 32C with this for the speed and city streets. I did have an issue with the left rear brake arm locking on me, but when I removed the arm, it was obviously related to too much crud built up or left. Cleaned and lubed and it straightened out for me. The other three haven't done that yet, but now I know the take down for those. The 29 pound weight is reasonable and three lbs. under what the Marin weighs, and five over what my steel State road bike weighs.
Thanks so much for sharing such a thorough review Derek. We're honored to have our Roebling as part of your stable of bikes. The Roebling is a fun do-it-all bike and from the sounds of it, it's delivering as promised. -Ryan Zagata

Bought my Roebling about 10 weeks ago from the Bike loft. Awesome place to buy a bike. Very well built and a nice bike to ride around town. Very happy with my bike and smoothness with the way it rides.
Thank you for your feedback Scott. We're thrilled to have you in the Brooklyn Bicycle Co. family and we're delighted to learn you had such a great experience with our Syracuse partner shop. -Ryan Zagata

Not only did my bike show up perfectly assembled, but the customer service in response to my questions had me throughly impressed and convinced to buy Brooklyn. I even got a free dad joke from the customer service rep. Highly recommend!
Thank you or sharing Quincey. We love us some dad jokes around here but we try to avoid sharing with customers as they're not ready for prime time. That said, we are thrilled to learn you're enjoying the bike and recommend it to others. -Ryan Zagata

As a former professional bicycle racer with a few Ti road bikes in my garage, I wanted a “city bike” to run errands and ride to the beach (a short distance from my retirement townhouse). I looked at used bicycles at my shop in PA and SC, but decided to buy new. Researched and spoke w Pres. of Co. and staff. Made purchase and was exceptionally pleased with ease of delivery and assembly by one of the company’s authorised bike assemblers, “Paul the Bike Guy” in Bolivian, NC. (Who did an excellent job for a one-man shop and I recommend him too if needed in northeast SC or southeast NC based upon this experience.) Bicycle was as expected, assembled as wished, and performs as desired. I
highly recommend this company and process. Robert Donaldson, Esq.
Thanks for sharing your top to bottom feedback and glad to have you as part of the Brooklyn Bicycle Co. family Robert. We've got some tremendous partners and we're thrilled that Paul was able to meet all expecations. -Ryan Zagata

I got my bike about 2 week ago and I am pleased. I contacted Ryan who supported me in making a decision about which size and style. We are the same height, 6 feet, so that made it easy. I chose a Roebling 21".
I was looking to replicate my experience with my Bridgestone X0-4, which I bought in 1993. Ryan said the X04 designer, Grant Petersen, was on their team to give input as well.
It was sent to local bike store in town that I was already familiar with and assembled in a week or two.
I ride down rail trails and country roads. It is very fast. 9 gears do it all. I go up a long quarter mile hill with a 6% grade and in 1st gear I can get up the hill without standing over the handlebars..so seated. I weave a bit but not much.
I recommend!
Thank you so much for leaving such a favorable review for our Roebling bike. We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying it and that our team was able to help you choose the perfect size and style. It's great to know that you were also able to connect with one of our designers for input. We hope you continue to have a great experience riding your Roebling on rail trails and country roads. Happy riding! - Ryan Zagata

Have Questions?
We Have Answers.
Get quick answers to your most common questions from sizing to accessorizing.
What is a hybrid bike?
Hybrid bicycles blend characteristics from more specialized road bikes, touring bikes and mountain bikes. The resulting "hybrid" is a general-purpose bike that can tolerate a wide range of riding conditions and applications.
What is the difference between the Roebling and the Lorimer?
While similar in design to its sibling the Lorimer, the Roebling sets itself apart with a longer cockpit and sportier, more contoured saddle. It also sports less swept back handlebars than the Lorimer. The Roebling is ideal for a wide range of rider heights from 5'0" - 6'4".
What is chromoly steel?
Chromoly (short for chromium-molybdenum) is a premium, lighter grade of steel prized by cyclists. It retains steel's legendary durability and shock absorption while shedding unnecessary weight—giving you a smoother, lighter, and more responsive ride. Specifically, the Roebling's chromoly is double butted which means the tubing is thicker at the stress points (welds) and then tapers at the center of the tubes resulting in an even lighter bike.
Can I add fenders, a rack, etc. to my Roebling?
Absolutely! The Roebling has all the braze-ons (mounting points) you'd need to add things like fenders, a rear rack, a kickstand, a front basket, or a water bottle cage.
