Shinola's Very Limited Runwell Di2 and All Their Other American Made Bikes.



The heart and soul of a Shinola bicycle begins in the legendary Waterford Precision Cycles factory in Wisconsin, where their frames and forks are individually handcrafted by experts using double-butted cro-moly steel.

Once shipped to their Detroit workshop, they undergo a custom-level assembly by Shinola's bike specialists, and each component is fitted by hand and tested for precision. This close attention to each and every detail ensures that every bicycle that ships from their Detroit workshop delivers impeccable reliability and an unbeatably smooth and responsive ride.

At the moment they have the Runwell, The Bixby, The Bixby for Women and now the Limited Runwell Di2.


The Very Limited Runwell Di2


This limited edition Shinola Runwell Di2 ($4,500) has been creating lots of buzz since Interbike. Shinola has committed to making only ten, and folks are lining up to get one while they last.




Classic styling meets the performance benefits of race-proven shifting and braking technology in The Runwell Di2 Limited Edition. Features the enduring style and predictable handling of an American-made lugged steel frame and fork, combined with the latest performance technology of Shimano Di2 electronic shifting and Alfine hydraulic brakes, Alfine dynamo front hub, and Supernova E2 Pro bright light.





Lightning quick, push button shifting, with handlebar-mounted LED control panel, and on-demand lighting make The Runwell Di2 Limited Edition a classic bike that’s also incredibly convenient. They've built out The Runwell Di2 Limited Edition with their own aluminum front rack, black alloy fenders and fender-mounted super bright PDW FenderBot tail light. Cables, wires and Di2 battery are internally routed.






Due to the extremely limited availability of The Runwell Di2, each bike will be built to order, with an anticipated ship date of March 2014.

The Runwell:



Inspired by the enduring French style of Porteur bicycles, first used by newspaper couriers in Paris, The Runwell delivers a classic blend of urban style and practicality. Meticulously designed to yield the best characteristics of a lugged steel frame and fork, we've engineered The Runwell to handle predictably and smoothly for city riding, commuting and errand running. Virtually maintenance free, courtesy of the high-end Shimano Alfine 11-speed internal hub, daily riders will never need to worry about adjustment, maintenance or exposure to rain and snow.





Stopping power, in any weather condition, is assured with the quiet and smooth disc brakes. Internal cable routing keeps the cables out of sight and out of the elements. Racks and fenders fit easily onto the frame. Responsive and predictable handing, classic and enduring style, low-to-no maintenance, stopping power in any weather condition, with an American-made frame and fork—The Runwell is truly a unique and worthy voice in the crowd.







Available in dark orange, light orange or blue.
