Rocky Mountain Metropolis Hybrid Bike

The Rocky Mountain Metropolis merges the latest in hydro-formed tubing with the latest internal drivetrain technology from Shimano for the ultimate in street cred. Lightweight butted tubing gives this frame lively handling—but it also has a full complement of rack mounts for hauling any load. On whatever urban adventure you choose, the Metropolis’s Alfine drivetrain eliminates the need for messy derailleurs and keeps your clothes clean. A road warrior commanding respect in urban environments, the Metropolis is made to conquer traffic and still hold its own when the job gets hectic.

  • Alfine 8spd work-horse internal geared hub for stump-pulling torque and traffic-light sprints
  • Mechanical disc brakes for consistent, powerful braking in the most adverse weather conditions.
  • Rear rack mounts and fork mounts for carrying all your loads
  • Convex-Curve-Comfort seatstays take the edge off for all-day riding comfort
  • Rocky Mountain FORM tubing is triple-butted for strength, low weight and rider comfort

Bottom Line: Haul more than just ass.

I love the specs on this bike, but I dont see any eyelets for fenders on the fork. Am I missing something or can I not add fenders to this thing?

Disc brake calipers make traditional fenders difficult to install. These SKS will work fine:

Write your question here... This looks like a lot of bicycle

Write your question here... This looks like a lot of bicycle for the money. I am considering replacing my 1985 Trek 850. It is a nice bike, so I am used to nice but looking for a bicycle designed to be a commuter. The Metropolis is close. The 2 items that are critical to me, that the Metropolis lacks, are dynohub lighting system and the recent belt drive system. Both of these would be expensive, or imposible, to add on later. Lack of stick on stuff, like fenders and rack, I like because there are functunality and style issues.

Also where is the Metropolis's frame built and where is the bike assembled?

I am in no rush to replace the Trek so I am waiting for something a little closer to my ideal commute ride.

Write your question here...
1) what are the terms of your 30 day guarantee? when I hit that link on the website it presents nothing other than the same page with no guarantee information.
2) I'm unfamilar with your rear internal gearing - is there more info on how that functions (i.e. the mechanical design)? How does that compare to a more traditional gearing ratio?
3) how do I get service?

2)Here is the website for the internal gearing rear hub. It has all the information you could want and a little more.
http://bike.shimano.com/publish/content/global_cycle/en/us/index/products/0/alfine/product.-code-SG-S500.-type-.html

3)The bike will come in a large box completely built. Our in house mechanics make sure the bike is all set up and good to go. The brakes and dérailleurs will be adjusted so all you have to do is set your seat post height and ride away.
If you need service in the future we recommend going to your local bike shop.

Thank you
