Rikulau LUG Hercules Road Bike

LUG Hercules Road Bike

LUG frame, with the beauty of elegance and sensibility, is the best representation of the bike-building craftsmanship. In terms of weight and ride efficiency, LUG frame has no advantage over other frames at all. But, it is always the appreciated collectable for bike enthusiasts.

After Rikulau 931 stainless steel LUG and high-end Columbus Spirit LUG, Rikulau introduced LUG Hercules as our entry level model LUG road frame. LUG design is simple, but, inner routing for rear brake and the brazed-on front derailleur hanger together with a simple graphics design give the frame a classical and stylish look.

Features

  1. Tubing: Raw tube from quality-oriented Nippon Steel (Japan). Precision extrusion processes done in Taiwan
  2. Inner routing on top tube and braze-on front derailleur hanger give a classical look
