Paul Budnitz releases No. 3 in stainless [Bike Radar]

Paul Budnitz, the creator of Kidrobot toys, built his first bicycles in 2006. In 2011, Budnitz Bicycles was founded with the goal of manufacturing simple, built-to-last bikes. We covered the launch of Budnitz Bicycles here. Now, a new model is available – the No. 3. The first two models by Budnitz were Ti frames. The No. 3. switched it up, offering a choice between stainless or black Cro-mo steel. Both No. 3 models come equipped with a Gates Center Track Belt Drive laced to an 11 speed Shimano Alfine Internal Hub, Avid BB7 mechanical disc brakes, and 29-inch wheels. The stainless steel version runs $3,600 while the Black Cro-mo version comes in at $2800. Budnitz describes the bike as lightening-fast, yet comfortable on the streets. They offer them in S, M, L, and XL.
