| The Civia Hyland is perfect for daily commuting or long road rides |
A local friend of Cycle Monkey came to us a few years ago asking if we had any ideas for a sturdy daily commuter that he could also take on some long road rides. He’s an avid road rider and has a garage full of high-end racing bikes. For his commuter, he wanted a similar fit and feel that he was used to on his road bikes, with the benefit of not having to worry about maintenance on century rides or day-in, day-out commuting.
After we discussed
his criteria, we opted to start the build with Civia’s Hyland frame. Civia designed the Hyland to
provide reliable daily transportation strong enough to haul groceries and other
gear in any road conditions, but nimble enough to navigate quickly through city
streets. Disc brake mounts and fenders add to the versatility of the frame. Our
customer liked the Hyland’s light, sturdy aluminum frame, but coming from a
road background he wanted make sure his ride was both speedy and dependable. We
told him we had something for him in mind.
