Creme Glider bike Construction
The first stage of our review is the construction of the Creme Glider bike. This encompasses three areas, materials, appearance and tires. Each individual area is evaluated independently of the others. This individual part comparison will then be synthesised into a summary of the product as a whole in the last section.
Creme Glider appearance Review
Perhaps the best selling feature of the Creme Glider 3 speed bike is the appearance. Relative to the common bikes used in today’s modern, fast paced, cities, the Creme Glider bike is a work of art. Its sleek design, gently curving lines and classic paint set it apart and remind one of a simpler time.The creators claimed that this bike will make the rider more creative. While, empirically, we are uncertain whether or not that is possible, the appearance of this
bike certainly makes one feel something. It is more than just a means of conveyance, but a rolling statement about who you are as a person. At the risk of waxing too poetic, this reviewer found the Creme Glider to be art on wheels.The handlebars are an albatross type, which is constructed from aluminium. This lightweight, durable and rust resistant metal helps to ensure that the Creme Glider will maintain its visually striking appearance for years to come. The handlebars are backswept at a 45 degree angle which ties in nicely with the gradual curves of the frame. The handle grips are constructed from velo leather which matches the velo seat.
Creme Glider material review
The Creme glider is of a sturdy construction. The frame consists of lugged hi-ten powder coated steel. The one foot fork consists of the same material. This helps to ensure that the frame won’t bend or be easily warped. Even if there are minor mishaps with your bike. Even with the extra strength of the materials, the bike still manages to only weigh 13 kg.The chainset consists of a 170 mm aluminium gear that features a KMC ½”x1/8” chain. This has the benefit of being rust resistant as well as being tough. Few things are more obnoxious than a gear shifter that has difficulty shifting gears. This issue has been addressed with the introduction of the Revo Shifter 3 speed. This shifter is reliable and does not detract from the simple elegance of the design.The Creme Glider features both front and rear brakes for the stopping power necessary in a city bike. The front brake features a dual pivot Promax calliper and the rear brake is a hub integrated coaster brake.The seatpost is constructed of aluminium, which supports a traditional velo seat. The materials used in the wheels are steel and aluminium, which prevents easy damage. The pedals are VP as is the headset. The bike also features a creme chain cover, an aluminium stand and a stylish bell.The Creme Glider 3 speed is constructed of rust resistant, durable materials that will ensure the bike will be useable if maintained at a normal level.
Creme Glider tires
Tires are one of the most important portions of a bike. While they are often overlooked and seen as a way to skimp on costs and save money, Creme did not take this route with the Creme Glider 3 speed. The rims are remerx 700c aluminium doublewall. This helps to prevent a bent rim. In pursuit of durability, the bike also has steel spokes.The Creme Glider tyres consist of Continental Ultra Gatorskin 200x23c. This material helps to ensure maximum durability, maximum grip and the best riding experience possible.
Creme Glider bike review summary
This review is one of the easiest that we have written. Each of the three factors were phenomenally constructed. The materials used are of the highest quality, the tires are durable and functional and the entire package is visually stunning.The Creme Glider 3 speed 2015 is ideal for individuals who want a durable city bike. In addition to the obvious usability of the machine, the Creme Glider also makes a statement about the rider.
