As someone who is an adrenaline junkie and is always happiest in nature, these bikes were an instant good time. I was lucky enough to to take some early test bikes out for a spin near my house in LA, and they did not disappoint. A fun hybrid of a mountain bike and a beach cruiser, the Ristretto 512 Bikes are the perfect hybrid for anyone looking for a 2 wheel solution. Build quality is what I was most impressed by. Carbon fiber accents and solid material used everywhere makes these things pretty indestructible. Whether it was cruising up the street to the farmers market with our dogs in tow, or ripping them on fire roads in the canyons for an evening ride, we throughly enjoyed them. The new Ristretto 512 First Editions line of Bikes are going to be a staple for myself and highly recommend them!
