Clever Cycles • Brooklyn Bicycle Co. Franklin 8 City Bike

  • Details That Matter

    Steel that hums, not buzzes.
    Gears that click with purpose.
    Brakes that stop quietly, cleanly.
    Tires that roll soft through noise and light.
    Comfort where you hold, sit, and see.

  • Is This Your Brooklyn? Read On.

    You don’t talk about “training miles.” You ride to get places — across neighborhoods, down the street, out for a bit of air. You value a good frame and clean lines more than carbon or hype. You like the feeling of a bike that just works — one that’s easy to trust, easy to ride, and looks right leaned against a brick wall.

  • Pure Brooklyn

    This is Brooklyn at its best: quiet strength, made to last, not to impress. The Franklin 8 carries the brand’s DNA — practical beauty built into steel. It’s for the riders who think less about showing off and more about showing up.

Bike Sizing, Brooklyn Style

Brooklyn bikes aren’t built for the racecourse — they’re built for morning coffee runs, crosstown commutes, and weekend spins through the park. You won’t find a dozen frame sizes here, because you don’t need ‘em. Each frame’s relaxed geometry and upright position make sizing simple — one frame can fit a whole lotta riders.

A slightly slacker seat tube means that when you raise or lower your saddle, your reach to the bars adjusts naturally. That’s why Brooklyn bikes feel right whether you’re tall, short, or somewhere in between.

So don’t overthink it. Pick your size mostly by height and how you like to ride — more upright for chill rides, a little lower for speed. Check the chart below, and when you stop by, we’ll dial in the fit so it feels like it was made for you.

Frame Label Rider Height Inseam
S / M 5'0" – 5'5" 28" – 30"
S 5'6" – 5'9" 29.5" – 31.5"
M 5'10" – 6'0" 31" – 33"
L 6'1" – 6'3" 32.5" – 35.5"

If you’re between sizes, choose smaller for closer handlebars and larger for a bit more reach.

Fine-tune at pickup

We’ll set saddle height and handlebar angle for you in minutes. Expect about 4 inches of seatpost range for multi-rider households.

Step-through vs step-over

Step-through: easiest to get on and off. Step-over: slightly sportier feel.
