The Space Horse is the most versatile model in the All-City line. The 612 Select steel frame was designed to accommodate front and rear racks and fenders with a load capacity of 30lbs in the rear and 20lbs up front. The geometry is a mix of traditional road and randonneur geos with a relatively short rear end and a bottom bracket that’s lower than a road bike. This gives the bike agile handling and increased stability when loaded. The lower BB also helps you descend gravel roads like a champ.

A 2x10-speed Shimano Tiagra drivetrain promises smooth shifts and hill-topping gearing for miles to come, while a pair of Alex/Tiagra wheels equipped with 700x35c trekking tires and a pair of Tektro cantilever brakes keep the fun under control. Salsa cockpit components and an All-City saddle provide excellent rider contact points. And all the usual All-City details are present, including a pump peg, rust-fighting ED coating, a stylish integrated seatpost clamp, and internal top tube cable routing.

All-City even improved the semi-horizontal dropouts. The small tab on the front of the dropout in combination with the adjustment screw means that the wheel is fixed in place like a vertical dropout system. You’ll never have to wonder where to get the best shifting. Simply place the wheel fully forward in the dropout and you're done.
