There is an age old tradition in the shires of the  UK of vicars riding old bikes to their churches waving at the housewives of their respective village as they cruise through the vales and hamlets, after seeing this puppy it made me pose the question to myself … i wonder if vatican priests ride these to mass … STYLE PERSONIFIED!

Men’s Abici Granturismo bicycle, handmade in one of the few remaining dedicated workshops in Italy still producing complete bikes (they once produced frames for Pinarello).

The handlebars, rims, pedal assembly and stand are made from ionised aluminium making them lightweight, durable and rust proof. The frame is painted in anti-rust paint. The chain and cog mechanism are enclosed in a very tidy and practical metal casing, preventing nasty oil stains and giving the green light for some smart attire.

The bike also features a Brooks saddle in honey-coloured hide and matching leather tape fitted to baker boy-style bars (we had fitted specifically for us).

Other features include:
High quality reflective tyres.
A simple-to-use, highly efficient (and very old fashioned) back wheel braking system operated by back-pedalling.
A standard handlebar operated front brake.
An integral lock that locks through the back wheel.

Comes with an Italian made stainless steel bell and set of translucent Knog frog Front and rear lights.
