XOXO | Handsome Cycles

XOXO | Handsome Cycles:


If you've never heard of the Bridgestone XO, it was one of those pivotal moments in design where everything fell together "just right." Unfortunately, Bridgestone quit making bicycles because they just weren't profitable enough for Bridgestone.

The XO isn't a racing bike. It's a comfortable all-rounder that doesn't mind taking the path instead of the road and won't leave you with an aching back after a day of riding.

Now we have the XOXO - a modern take on this classic bike. My only wish is that they had taken it a bit further - keep the classic geometry and moustache bars, but add in disc brake mounts and a triple chainring. Also add more mounting points for racks and fenders. That would make it a much more versatile and desirable bike.
