The 'Geared' Varsity bikes are equipped with a Shimano 7-speed in-hub gear system, offering more versatility for city and country riding. The in-hub system provides smooth transitions between gears, allowing you to easily handle different terrains and inclines.

The in-built gearing system avoids the 'day to day' build-up of grit and grime as experienced in standard derailleur systems and therefore much lower maintenance requirements.

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.

Built around an upgraded 4130 chromoly frame and fork with double butted tubing, the Varsity models are lighter, faster and stronger feature sealed headset bearings, an intricate aluminium 44T crank, and a full Quella Varsity Premium finishing kit for improved comfort and performance.

Our stunning Varsity Cambridge is finished in a classic Cambridge Blue coloured frame with complementary Quella Varsity premium finish kit.  Like the two great universities, it competes with the Varsity Oxford for the top spot.

A beautiful ride

I looked long and hard before choosing my Quella. In fact, there is nothing else on the market quite like this hub-geared version of the Varsity. While the overall design and finish are first-class, I am replacing one or two components - pedals, saddle, for instance - as I feel they are slightly below par. And the gear change cable is secured to the tube by plastic ties, which seems quite wrong - so I am looking into sourcing some proper clips for that. But overall, I am very pleased. I have thoroughly enjoyed riding it so far... apart from one episode when the handlebar was slipping on the A post. Slightly alarming, and could have caused a nasty crash. It's definitely worth checking that all bolts are properly tight! I suppose the only real disappointment was seeing 'Made in China' on the box when it was delivered - I had assumed they were made in England (naive, I know).

Great bike and customer service

I had a great experience from start to finish. I had lots of questions and made a custom bike to suit all my needs. The lady who I was dealing with was excellent and I love the bike. Fully recommended! Thanks
