The PUBLIC R18 Drop Bar was designed with the commuter, adventurer, and everyday cyclist in mind. With design inspired by the past for demands of the present, this 18-speed bike’s versatile geometry and lightweight Chromoly frame make it great for navigating the daily commute, putting in some extra fitness miles after work, or heading out of town for longer weekend adventures.

Up-to-date features like a 1 1/8" threadless stem and modern, dual control shifters allow many riding positions from semi-upright to aerodynamic and ensure easy-to-operate, light and responsive shifting. The PUBLIC R18 Drop Bar features an upgraded Shimano Sora 2x9 drivetrain that boasts the same reliable performance as far more expensive road bikes and is ready to ease you up the steepest hills.

Unlike traditional road bikes, the PUBLIC R18 Drop Bar was designed for urban utility with features like alloy fenders to keep you dry in inclement conditions, front and rear rack mounts, and secondary inline brake levers that offer convenient braking in city traffic from the most upright position. Rims capable of 35c clearance (w/o fenders) smooth rough city streets with nimble handling, and quick-release wheels make it especially easy to carry on a roof rack for rides out of town.

A visual homage to rides of the past, but with the benefits of modern geometry and components, the PUBLIC R18 is perfect for riders looking for an entry-level road bike that's ready to meet the demands of both urban and recreational riding. The PUBLIC R18 Drop Bar is ready to be your go-anywhere, do-anything road bike.

              Wish I Had Used This Sooner – Stop Debating and Just Buy It!
              Size: Powder Poli Ox - Pack of 6
              Wish I Had Used This Sooner – Stop Debating and Just Buy It! After a lot of debate, extensive research, and way too many hours spent using other products trying to restore and protect my RV's fiberglass that never fully delivered the results I was after, I finally tried the Poli Glow Deluxe Kit—and I am extremely happy I did. My only regret is not using it sooner instead of letting other people's opinions talk me out of it. The 6-in-1 complete kit is the right way to tackle fiberglass restoration from start to finish—eliminating oxidation, restoring the shine, and then protecting it long term all in one comprehensive system. The difference in how my RV looks after going through the full Poli Glow process is genuinely impressive and far beyond what any single product or traditional buffing method I tried before could deliver. The oxidation came off cleanly, the restored shine is deep and glossy, and the long-lasting protection gives real peace of mind knowing the fiberglass is shielded from UV damage and the elements going forward—especially important in the brutal Las Vegas sun. For anyone who has been going back and forth on whether to invest in the full Poli Glow Deluxe Kit—stop debating, stop listening to everyone else's opinion, and just do it. The complete system delivers complete results, and I won't be using anything else on my RV going forward. Highest possible recommendation.

              My RV had moderate oxidation. I tried several polishes and waxes. Nothing worked well to make it shine out lasted long. I applied poly glow a week ago. It is easy to apply and made my RV shine like new. So far I love Poly glow and if it lasts anywhere a long as they say, I will continue to use it.

              It Works!!!!!
              Size: Powder Poli Ox - Pack of 6
              We have only completed the first two steps it Poly Glo set we purchased and has it ever made a difference in the look of our hauler/trailer! The dull oxidize black color is somewhat shiny. Cant wait to put the final two steps on it! A little elbow grease and work did wonders! We will share a photo once the procedure is complete!

              Could be good
              Size: Powder Poli Ox - Pack of 6
              I cleaned my RV very thorough from top to bottom before even starting the process with the Poli Glow system. Here's what I learned despite videos and lots of reading reviews. 1. Must be very clean and clear of anything you dont want to stick and show on your final outcome. 2. It takes more coats than you think it would (after 3 coats) it was still really streaky and I was starting to regret using Poli Glow. I ended around 7-8 coats and my rig had no major oxidation at all. 3. As one reviewer said, use a clean microfiber cloth v the applicator that comes with it, I found much better results with no lines. 4. Dont go to heavy on the coating, the instructions say this, but I went super light and it can be very easy to get lines with heavier application. 5. Dont look at your work after 3 coats, you will feel deflated, just keep going for at least 6 coats and then look at your work. 6. Only do small areas and look out for drips and lines, you need to get them out right away. 7. I did not use the Poli Ox, I was able to get any oxidation out with just the Poli Prep 8. Going up and down a ladder for hours sucks! 9. I hope it will come off in the next couple of years when I plan to replace the decals. Honestly, thats my biggest fear is how hard it will be to remove when the time comes. 10. After a scary start, I will say it did turn out pretty nice, was it easy, nope, would I do it again? Not sure, I need some time for my back to heal up! If you do choose Poli Glow know there are other options that maybe a better way to go such as wet sanding etc. Poli Glow is pretty good, but it can be pretty bad also if the surface is not cleaned and the Poli Glow applied correctly.
