Johnson, a cutting-edge bicycle production company with close ties to Noosa, provide a boutique range of bikes and, in their relatively short history, have earned a solid reputation as the bike those in the know insist upon riding.
The Esquire range of frames in the line-up reflect owner (and former WorldTour professional!) Ben Johnson’s desire for a bike that performs similarly to the top-tier of race bikes but gives a riding sensation more akin to a quality steel bike.
In 2016 the company released the disc brake equipped Johnson Esquire SL; a bike which stands out from the bunch without resorting to gimmicky features or overly loud design.
Reasonably compact headtube allows for aggressive positioning if required.
The Esquire is a beautiful designed frame in terms of geometry and tube profiles.
The swallow carries personal meaning for owner Ben Johnson and symbolises always returning home from a journey.
SRAM hydraulic disc brakes provide ample stopping power.
Offset seatpost mount affords a steeper seat tube angle.
