Description
The Space Horse is an iconic all-road companion designed for riders who refuse to compromise between performance and practicality. Whether you’re tackling century rides on paved roads, exploring rugged gravel trails, packing gear for cross-country tours, or commuting through urban streets with style intact—this bike delivers unmatched versatility across terrains and tasks. Its reputation as a cult favorite stems from its ability to balance agility with comfort while maintaining an enduring classic aesthetic that stands out wherever you ride.
Frame & Geometry
At its core lies All-City’s proprietary 612 Select Chromoly Steel tubing—a meticulously engineered blend of double-butted alloy tubes tailored by size to ensure every model offers responsive handling without sacrificing comfort. The geometry strikes an ideal middle ground between road racing efficiency and endurance riding stability: a compact rear triangle enhances traction on loose surfaces while a slightly lower bottom bracket improves stability at high speeds or loaded touring conditions.
Built for Adventure
Equipped with 12mm front/rear thru-axles and flat-mount disc brakes for precise stopping power in any weather condition, this bike is ready for real-world riding demands. Integrated rack and fender mounts make it equally at home carrying panniers on long tours or staying clean during daily commutes. The fork’s hidden dynamo ports simplify lighting setups without compromising aesthetics—a thoughtful touch for night riders or those seeking off-grid reliability.
Tire Flexibility
With tire clearance optimized for both 700c x 45mm (up to 42mm with fenders) and 650b x 47mm (42mm with fenders) on select sizes*, the Space Horse adapts seamlessly between pavement-smooth tires and knobby off-road rubber—ideal for gravel grinders seeking grip or commuters wanting wider stability without sacrificing style.
Spec Highlights
– Drivetrain: Shimano Tiagra R460 crankset paired with an 11-32t MicroSHIFT cassette ensures smooth shifting across steep climbs or unpredictable terrain
– Durability: E.D.-coated steel construction resists corrosion while maintaining lightweight strength
– Comfort & Control: All-City’s Signature Seat Collar offers precise saddle positioning alongside Tektro disc brakes for confident braking
Grade A Condition
This near-mint model has never seen pavement—only studio photoshoots or expo displays—and comes fully warranted by the manufacturer. While minor differences exist between stock photos and actual components (e.g., spoke color variations), its pristine state guarantees you’re getting a fresh ride ready for adventure.
Sizing Guidance
The 52cm frame suits riders between 5’6”–5’11”, though we recommend test-riding or measuring your inseam before committing—your comfort is key!
