Revisiting of the classic rod brakes bike. Since always one of the favourite among classic bikes, elegant and precious in its steel lever sytem to control the braking system. Yet with an inborn problem: the poor efficiency of this braking system. We wanted to overcome the problem and yet keeping the specific leverage-controls, that mainly mark this classic bike. Braking is now more proficient thanks to te Diacompe center pull caliper brakes and brakes oversize pads.The result is a superior braking also as consequence of the stainless steel wheel rims with knurling braking track. But we wanted to make it even more confortable by assembling a Continental belt system thus obtaining an extremely smooth "velvety" traction. With the other advantage of avoiding all the maintenance necessary for the normal steel chain. A dedicated brushed and painted alluminium chainguard underlines the modernity of the bike.
Montegrappa saddle, in real leather, handmade in Italy. Fine wood grips both for handlebar and brake levers.
Dedicated dark brown metallic paint.
Sturmey Archer 3 speeds hub gear optional. Dedicated rear rack and rear lights optional.
