OSPA is a unique and nearly indestructible multipurpose-performance bike that requires only One Service Per Annum (1x yearly).
In an experiment that lasted the full year of 2017 (365 days) I rode the OSPA prototype without any mechanical support (except wear parts).
The OSPA bike consists of selected components following the *SLCFE principle and are not be serviced for an entire year according the OSPA mission.
2017 - successfully completed 10’000 km in the harshest conditions. The only spare part changed was a shifting cable.
2018 - no service at all so far (status mid December 2018
*Simple, Lean, Consistant, Fast, Economic
