No.3
Meet the new Budnitz Model No.3, the latest evolution of our ultimate belt-drive city bicycle. Completely re-engineered from the ground up, the world’s best go-anywhere, do-anything bicycle for fast and fun city riding just got even better.
Fast & Fun
The new No.3 twin-tube single arc cantilever frame features elegant double-curved down tubes – engineered for both power and shock absorption. Available in your choice of ultralight titanium or classic, responsive cro-moly steel, the No.3 frame features exceptional lateral stiffness, minimizing energy loss as you push the pedals for wicked speed. It’s also engineered to flex in just the right places, to absorb the shock of gravel, curbs and rough pavement without clunky front suspension.
A far cry from the rugged bikes of your past, our titanium frame weighs just 3.6 pounds.
Ready for Anything
With big 29-inch wheels (accommodating tires up to 2.35-inches), a long wheelbase and aggressive geometry, No.3 is perhaps the world’s most versatile city bike.
Jump curbs, cut corners, and tear through gravel alleyways. Or enjoy a lazy ride down a dirt pathway on the way to the lake. It’s up to you. One thing is certain: the morning commute will never be the same.
Belt-Drive & Internal Gearing
A clean and silent Gates Carbon Drive belt comes standard on every Model No.3. Not only does it weigh 70% less than a traditional bike chain, but it is entirely grease-free. You’ll never get your pants dirty again.
No.3 is available in a single speed configuration, or with high-tech internal gearing enclosed in a rear hub. Choose between the 11-Speed Shimano Alfine or the German-engineered 14-Speed Rohloff Speedhub – a solution renowned for its durability and massive 526% gear range.
A Belt-Drive Bicycle Built for You.
Like every Budnitz, No.3 is assembled by hand in our Vermont studio, one client at a time. Our skilled builders will fully customize your bike, using our proprietary Budnitz riser handlebars, seat post, stem, badges, and some of the greatest bicycle components in the world.
