21 Jan 2016

Productivity Freeecosater Completes Intro

By Kerr Bilsland

Completes have improved drastically in recent years with LHD and coaster options now being readily available right of off the shelf from a lot of quality brands. Sure you might find a cheaper (and worse) option from a company who will be here for ten minutes and solely aim to make a quick buck but there are also those who believe devoutly in selling quality bikes and giving back to the riders who are out there killing it on the daily. You might be bursting at the seams to get involved but take a second to make sure you’re really putting your money where your mouth is and get yourself something that’ll keep you buzzing for the long run. Here's a selection of 2016 Freecoaster completes from proven bands that you can put your trust in.
