First previewed in an exclusive first-look back in April of 2023, the Monē Bikes Hachita frames ($1,625) have finally landed! Cjell just took delivery of a shipment of these cool ‘n’ kooky double-butted Chromoly frames that take 650 or 700 wheels in rim or disc brake configurations. The Hachita has many possibilities for build configurations and Cjell lays it alllllll out at Monē Bikes or you can read all about Bailey from Sincere Cycle’s configuration (above) in our Archives.
The BLB Hitchhiker is an all-steel, all-rounder, and Tim built his up as a flat bar basket bike. Let’s check out a beautifully-documented Readers’ Rides below!
Cjell here with a quick report from the field on my latest prototype bike model, the Monē Hachita. I’m still dialing in the details but have released a few protos into the wild. The new/forthcoming frame featured here was just built up by my friend Bailey Newbrey. For those unfamiliar, Bailey is the owner/operator/janitor/DJ of Sincere Cycles in Santa Fe.
The new bike is one we’re working on over here at Monē. The current Monē line-up has a slack/playful hardtail with very big tire clearance, a drop bar with very big tire clearance, and a gravel bike with just big tire clearance. In many ways, these thru-axle, disc-braked bikes are superior to this new bike. In all ways, really, save one: ultimate retro compatibility.
