Introducing the Varsity Brunel Limited Edition. What happens when you take the Quella Nero and give it a distinctly British twist? You get the Brunel. Finished in deep racing green and paired with striking chrome wheels, this limited-edition model combines classic British engineering with timeless style.
With its clean lines and understated finish, the Brunel is built for everyday urban riding. A 44/16 gearing ratio makes it quick, responsive and easy to ride, while the simple single-speed drivetrain keeps maintenance to a minimum. The supplied flip-flop hub also gives you the choice of riding it as a traditional single-speed or switching to fixed gear whenever you prefer.
The Classic range is designed with comfort and practicality in mind. Riser handlebars with grips provide a more relaxed riding position, while the comfortable saddle makes everyday commutes more enjoyable. An adjustable stem comes fitted as standard, allowing you to fine-tune your riding position to suit your preference.
The result is a fast, simple and distinctive city bike with a distinctly British character. The Brunel Limited Edition brings together deep racing green, polished chrome and classic Quella styling in a bike designed to stand out without trying too hard.
