developed in collaboration with bike builders freddie grubb, instrmnt incorporates the ethos of both brands, treating form and function with equal importance. each model is hand-built in south london, with a two-speed automatix gear system and SRAM coaster brake. each component has been specified to make city riding easier and more enjoyable, while a stitched leather top tube protector is designed to guard the bike frame from chips and acts as a carrying grip for the hand and shoulder. the top tube protector sits alongside matching handlebar grips and saddle, with each leather component designed to develop and age over the lifetime of the bike.
