Bike of The Week: Retrovelo

Retrovelo Paul

Wow – this week’s bike is a doozy! Come in, have a look and before you know it you’ll be sauntering around town in style on this gorgeous khaki colored German made 7-speed Retrovelo Paul. Wide handlebars offer a relaxed position and give a sense of stability on every surface.  The steel frame absorbs major bumps in the road effectively and small vibrations are transformed into the humming of your balloon tires.

BOTW_RetroVelo600The frame size is 57 cm (22,5“) and comes equipped with built-in front and rear lights. Matching fenders and rear rack add to the beauty of this gorgeous bike. It’s ready to ride and available at The Bike Kitchen for $1200.
