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 Classic range offers riser handlebars with grips and a comfy saddle. We also know everyone has different riding positions so we have included an adjustable stem on all our Classic range so you can amend your riding position to suit your preference.
The Cream Deep-V’s bring a touch of classic refinement to a modern frame. Their soft, vintage-inspired tone makes the bike stand out with understated elegance, turning heads without shouting for attention. But behind the subtle style lies serious substance: the same 40mm deep profile delivers strength, smoothness, and a sense of effortless glide through city streets. They’re for riders who love a timeless aesthetic yet still demand urban-ready performance every time they roll out.
