Tonic Fab howie R/T - The R is for Race, the T for Trails.

he R/T adds competitive hustle to the Howie formula without spoiling its original mission as a fun seeking missile. Refreshingly free of Dropout Puzzles and Award Winning Tube Shapes, the R/T’s beautifully made steel frame is pleasing to the eye yet brutally effective as a race machine.So what has changed?

Longer, lower, and more laid back, the R/T’s geometry is tuned for chasing points, or after work grins.
