Cielo by Chris King offers several models, from the Sportif Classic and Sportif Racer to Cross and Mountain bikes, but among the orders we receive at Circles, the Sportif Classic is our second most popular model after the Sportif Racer.
This modern sportif-style bike comes with fender eyelets, and you can also opt to install fenders painted to match the frame. It’s not about wallowing in nostalgia, but rather a design that thoroughly meets the needs of today. For cyclists who always keep a sense of adventure in their hearts, this is the road bike that sits closest to their spirit.
Just the other day, another Sportif Classic was brought into the world.
The color is BLUE. It’s a popular choice among the many colors available, and for many, it’s the color that comes to mind when they hear the name Cielo. For the Chris King headset, we chose Brown, a color that has since been discontinued. The other parts were transferred from a bike the owner was already riding.
For the saddle, we chose a Selle Anatomica, which has a hardcore following among leather saddle enthusiasts. Built for touring, it is an excellent saddle that keeps you comfortable even on long rides. By fitting it with 28c Rivendell “Ruffy Tuffy” tires, we were able to achieve an exceptionally smooth ride. So, where will the owner take this bike next weekend? We truly hope they enjoy the best of rides.
