Product Description ❯
Meet the Quella Nero Phantom, a limited-edition take on our original and best-selling Nero, finished with contrasting silver componentry for a distinctive, understated look. Combining the Nero’s signature all-black frame with polished silver detailing, the Phantom brings a fresh edge to a Quella classic.
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 everyday commuting and city riding, Quella bikes bring together timeless design, dependable performance and everyday practicality.
At its heart, the Nero Phantom features a durable diamond-form, high-tensile steel frame designed to handle the demands of daily riding. The steel construction helps absorb the bumps and imperfections of urban roads, delivering a comfortable, dependable ride without compromising on style.
The custom geared setup adds versatility for everyday journeys, while the Shimano 8-speed internal hub offers smooth, precise shifting with a clean, minimal appearance. With no external derailleur, the drivetrain keeps things simple and low-maintenance, whether you're navigating city streets, tackling inclines or heading out for a longer ride.
Finished with silver componentry against its black frame, the Phantom stands apart from the standard Nero without losing the simplicity that made the original a Quella favourite. Its practical specification, straightforward maintenance and distinctive finish make it an ideal choice for riders who want something a little different.
Limited edition. Custom finish. Classic Quella.
The Quella Nero Phantom takes everything you love about our original Nero and gives it a distinctive new identity.
