EX-DEMO BIKE – PHOTOSHOOT USE ONLY

This is an ex-demo Quella Brunel that has only been used for a photoshoot. It has a couple of minor scratches from handling, but has not been used as a customer demo or ridden regularly. A great opportunity to pick up a Brunel at a reduced price.

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. Built for commuters, they combine timeless style with everyday practicality.

With a sleek, minimalist design and a 44/16 gear ratio, the Brunel is made for everyday urban riding. It’s responsive, lightweight, quick and easy to maintain.

The flip-flop rear hub gives you the choice of riding fixed gear or single-speed, with a freewheel sprocket included as standard. Simply flip the rear wheel to change between the two setups whenever you like.

The Quella Brunel

What happens when you take the Quella Nero and give it a distinctly British twist? You get the Quella Brunel.

The same fast, fun and low-maintenance track-inspired ride, finished in a deep racing green inspired by classic British engineering and timeless style. Understated but distinctive, the Brunel is built for city streets and everyday riding.

The Classic range comes equipped with riser handlebars, comfortable grips and a cushioned saddle. An adjustable stem also comes as standard, allowing you to fine-tune your riding position for a more comfortable and natural fit.
