VELORBIS - When Design Matters - VELORBIS Bicycle Production

VELORBIS Bicycle Production

A German production site along with a flexible and market-leading supplier base, enable us to offer traditional style ‘best in class’ bicycles that are the highest quality on the market today. We ONLY use European sourced premium components such as BROOKS®, SRAM, Sturmey Archer, Schwalbe, Van Shorthorst, Bush & Muller and BOMI. All VELORBIS® classic bicycles are equipped as standard with all-inclusive leather luxury from BROOKS® - the world-leading English saddle maker since 1866. These exclusive leather components comprise BROOKS® leather saddles, BROOKS® leather grips and BROOKS® leather mud flaps. All of our low maintenance bicycles are specially built to resist the tough Scandinavian weather where snow, frost and salt constantly threaten to attack every single component of your bicycle. To prevent this from happening, we have equipped our models with zinc plated mudguards, powder coated and rust protected chromoly steel frames, stainless steel nuts and bolts, etc. All of these precautionary elements are of course made at our German factory, enabling us to reduce lead times and give us added flexibility to constantly monitor and optimise our quality control process.

There is a fine line between the statements ‘HAND BUILT’ and ‘HAND MADE’ and often some confusion between the two. Let us clarify this further. When we say our bicycles and bicycle components are HAND MADE in Europe we mean PRODUCED AND ASSEMBLED here in Europe.

This is in sharp contrast to other classic bicycle manufacturers, especially those based in England who claim that their bicycles are HAND BUILT (i.e. not HAND MADE nor PRODUCED) in England. This in fact means that their bicycle components are PRODUCED in China or other countries in the Far East and then imported and assembled (HAND BUILT) in England! Therefore when buying a HAND MADE VELORBIS® bicycle, you can rest assured that the components have been PRODUCED and BUILT (ASSEMBLED) here in Europe to the highest standards.
