Product Description

We’re proud to be recognised by Cycling News as one of the "Bicycle Companies We Trust". Our classic, steel-frame bikes are designed and built to order in the UK, using carefully selected components sourced from around the world. Purpose-built for commuters, they combine timeless style with everyday practicality.

Sleek and minimalist, and with a 44/16 ratio, they are perfect for everyday urban bike riding. They are responsive, light, and fast and easy to maintain and use. Our single speed bikes can be ridden fixed gear (fixie) or as a single-speed with a freewheel sprocket as each bike is supplied with a flip-flop hub so the rider can choose what they prefer and change back at any time. The Nero range is our original & best-selling model, super dependable, sturdy, simple & very affordable.

Our Nero range is the original and best-selling Quella model dependable, sturdy, simple, and affordable. Built around a durable diamond-form frame, the high-tensile steel absorbs the bumps and lumps of city streets, offering a smooth and comfortable ride. With simple componentry, maintenance is minimal just the occasional wash and a touch of oil.

The Courier range is the origin of the brand, fast Streetwise Urban Bikes, that utilises bull horn style bars and straight stem matched with our racing saddle for a more sports/aggressive riding style. If you prefer are more upright/easy riding style then check-out our 'Classic' model with riser style handlebars.
