It has fitted removable mudguards and a rear rack, that can be removed if not required, but useful left on.
The Racelight 4130-DB Cromoly double butted frame tubes and chainstays are made with the Bio-Axial technology that basically means the tube joins are of an oval shape at the end of a round tube, and are of double thick tube construction at the joins for extra strength, this helps to keep the weight down, and the Cromoly is a stronger grade of steel that they used in old school bmx racing frame builds for extra strength, so signs of a better quality bike (for those who need the extra info)
