Royce Union is a name that's been around the bike industry for over 100 years, with manufacturing seen on bikes happening in Japan, the US, Taiwan, and elsewhere. As of 2023, it's owned by Huffy. I bought this for very cheap on closeout, although the bike cuts corners in some places it's clear the designers knew how to maximize their dollar. It only comes in 1 size (21" which is somewhere between a 54-56cm effectively) which is a little small for me but it's been solid. It makes up for it slightly with a long 110mm stock stem
My major beef is the frame and fork, they both flex a little more than i'd like, and the frame has an integrated derailleur hanger on a aluminum frame! It bent almost immediately.
