Off the shelf, and from the ground up
People are different, and have different needs when it comes to human powered transport. We believe that a bike will be loved and kept for years if there is a real connection between the owner and rider. So in an effort to keep Melbourne cyclists happy on the road and Coburg tip free of half loved bicycles, Commuter Cycles now have a small selection of quality new bikes ready for sale.
Custom Builds.
Quickly becoming a specialty, we’re finding that
building custom built bikes are becoming a big part of our business. If you can’t find the sort of bike you’re after on a shelf, pop in for a measurement and a chat, and we’ll do the rest.
Restorations
If you’ve got an old bike in the shed that’s been
neglected for a few years, it may not cost as much as you think to get it running again. A new chain, a little oil and new brake cables are much cheaper than spending hundreds on a new bike.
New Bikes
Currently, sell Gazelle, Surly, Creme and Allegro. Read on…
Gazelle Bicycles
Gazelle’s are the classic Dutch city bike – very upright riding position, integrated racks, mud guards and lights and a cohesive aesthetic.
The Dutch company have been building bicycles for commuters for 116 years. The bikes are built for durability and comfort. All of them come with chain guards to keep your chain and your legs clean, a step-through option to make it easier to get on and off the bike, and a good range of sizes.
Surly
Surly are a no-nonsense bicycle company.
They make the best value touring bikes out there and always spec sensible parts that are reliable and good value for money. We keep a Long Haul Trucker and a Crosscheck on the floor, then order them in for customers. There are a lot of options for Surlies ranging from buying them with their stock parts and riding away, right through to doing a fully custom build from scratch.
Allegro
Allegro are a Melbourne based bicycle company. All their bikes are designed locally, and built up with simple quality parts. We’re especially fond of their W2 step-through.
Creme
Creme make a range of city bicycles that are a little more French inspired than Gazelles, but with similar sorts of features. In general they are a little zippier and less upright, but with a good range of the features like chain guards, mud guards, built-in racks, etc which makes Gazelles so good as commuting bikes.
