Budnitz Bicycles No.1 Titanium
$5600

Model No.1 is our top-of-the-line model, and we believe it is the very best city bicycle made.

This is our fastest bicycle, our lightest bicycle, and the bicycle that many reviewers have cited as one of the most elegant bicycles ever made. It is excellent for the daily commute, riding around town, and for short-distance touring.

No.1 is designed to be both fast and comfortable. It features an extremely lightweight titanium cantilever frame that weighs less than 3.5 lbs. (1.5 kg), and that is engineered to absorb road shock. 29-inch wheels and 1.6” (35mm) tires create a very smooth ride as well.

The riding position on No.1 is upright enough to feel comfortable without sacrificing pedal power. Includes our handmade ergonomic titanium riser handlebars (there’s a flatbar option too), titanium stem, badges, seatpost, clamp, and badges.

The carbon belt drive is lightweight, silent, and requires no grease — so it won’t get your pants dirty. Your choice of singlespeed or the latest clean & quiet Shimano Alfine 11-speed internal transmission. Internal cable routing for an exceptionally clean look.

Model No.1 is built to last. Titanium is as light as carbon fiber, stronger than steel, and it will never rust or corrode. The brushed finish can be kept looking new for a lifetime. Includes our unique lifetime theft replacement policy at no extra cost.

Built with top-end components from Chris King, Paul Components, White Industries, Yakazuno, Velocity, and Gates.

If you want a really wonderful bicycle, one that you plan to ride or the rest of your life, No.1 is the model to choose.

Frame

Info

Our handmade titanium No.1 Budnitz Cantilever Frame weighs in just over 3.3 pounds. The arched and split top-tube absorbs shock for a comfortable ride and maintains horizontal stiffness for speed. Frame No.1 has slightly more aggressive geometry and a stiffer ride than our model No.2, yet is still very comfortable to ride. Hand brushed titanium will never rust or corrode.

Drivetrain

Info

Paul really hates getting his pants dirty. So he got rid of the chain altogether, and replaced it with a mess-free and nearly silent carbon belt made in Germany. Optional full-range 11-speed Shimano Alfine internally geared transmission requires almost no maintenance, is superfast on the flats and has a granny gear for hills.

All cables run through frame tubing for an exceptionally clean look, and beautiful chrome cable housing by German specialty brand Nokon protects the exposed bits. Disk brake levers handmade by Paul Components in California.
