The PUBLIC V7 is our most popular—and most affordable—multi-speed diamond frame bike for good reason. It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade to dependable urban transportation without stretching the budget. Built around a classic diamond frame handcrafted from durable, lightweight steel, the V7 features a versatile Shimano MegaRange 1x7 drivetrain with a wide gear range designed to handle nearly any hill. Puncture-resistant tires provide a smooth ride over rough city streets, while dual-pivot caliper brakes with quick release deliver confident stopping power. As with all PUBLIC bikes, the V7 includes thoughtful commuter details: full fenders and a chainguard to keep you clean and dry, a negative-rise stem for a sportier feel and responsive handling, and a saddle and grips finished in a durable, weatherproof material. Front and rear rack mounts come standard, making it easy to carry cargo wherever you’re headed. With our unique Ready to Ride shipping option, your bike arrives pre-tuned and 99% assembled, carefully and professionally packed by our in-house Bay Area technicians—ready to roll right out of the box.
