An unprecedented collaboration of the popular bike manufacturer Charge Bikes and the well-known designer Terence Conran has produced one of the most exciting bikes for 2012, the Hob. While styled to be neat and simple, this classic-looking bike is also tough enough to tackle all-day rides, on the road or on the trail.

Along with the steel Mixte frame and fork of the Hob, which Charge Bikes has been known for, are the high-quality parts, including the Tektro brakes, Alex rims, Pro-Max levers, Wellgo Alloy trekking pedals, and Hob sweep-back handlebars.

For the fashion-conscious and serious riders, the 2012 Charge Hob x Conran Hybrid Bike is definitely a must-have. Other major features of this unique hybrid bike are its alloy single bolt seat post, Charge Single Speed front hub and crank set, as well as a Sturmey Archer three-speed rear hub and cassette.
