A few weeks ago we told you about some beautiful Dutch bicycles we were ordering in. Well, they’re here. Undoubtedly the smoothest ride in Brunswick, these Gazelle city bikes are packed with stylish features.
The vintage styling is a nod to Gazelle’s 116 year history. But don’t let the looks fool you, these bikes are rock solid. Seen everywhere in bicycle friendly Amsterdam, these are the sort of bike that are reliable, comfortable and built to last.
We have four models currently in store, each offers different features. All are complete with pack racks, lights, built in wheel locks and are ready to roll. We also offer a free first service – very handy once you and the bike had a bit of a chance to break each other in.
As we’ve said before, these bikes aren’t cheap, but once you add the cost of the built in accessories to a bike you’ve bought off the rack, they come in at pretty good value.
Feel free to come in and take them for a test ride, or read on to find the right model for you.
