The Metropolis range was born at the confluence of the past and the future, in the form of uniquely styled products, designed for urban cyclists. Metropolis adds value, fashion and function to any bike. Metropolis captures the retro style, but adds thoughtful innovations to enhance comfort and performance. The range of parts includes a uniquely styled handlebar, stem, matching post, and an innovative planetary crank option. The Metropolis Patterson crank set is the first to use a planetary gear design which has mechanical features that allow seamless shifting under any load, with less wear than other systems, and specifically engineered for urban riders.
