About this product
This Vintage SUTTON Touring Bike is a 10-speed model with a 58 cm chromoly frame and 27-inch wheels, originating from Japan. It features drop bars, clincher tires, and mechanical rim brakes. Designed for touring, this purple bike utilizes bar-end shifters with derailleur gears. Its vintage status highlights a classic design suitable for collectors or enthusiasts of older cycling equipment, branded with Shimano components.
Our take
This vintage Sutton touring bike, with its chromoly frame, offers a slightly lighter and often more lively ride than traditional steel, making it an appealing option for enthusiasts of classic bikes. The 10 speeds and bar-end shifters provide a reliable and period-appropriate gearing setup for touring. The 27-inch wheels are characteristic of bikes from this era. As with many vintage models, the mechanical rim brakes are basic, so don't expect modern stopping power. The purple color gives it a distinctive aesthetic, and its Japanese origin with Shimano components speaks to a certain level of quality from its time.
