The VELORBIS Victoria Classic upright bike belongs to a category of classic bicycles that has many different names. This type of classic bicycle it is called everything from a sit-up-and-beg bicycle, a vintage bicycle, a retro style bicycle, to an 'Omafiets' - (Granny bike in Dutch). In some countries the most common term is a commuter bike, utility bike or an upright bike. The most popular European term is the 'Dutch Bike´ or 'Dutch style bicycle'. In many contexts is really a generic term being used to describe a style of bike, typically a two-wheeled, utilitarian bicycle, with mudguards or fenders, a rear carrier or rack, relaxed loop frame or geometry, an upright seating position and generally an “old-timey” look harking back to the turn of the 20th century. It is a style of bike you find all over Northern Europe, from bicycle friendly cities such as Copenhagen and Amsterdam, to Hamburg, Stockholm and Oslo.

Our classic Ladies town and country bicycle takes its curvilinear shape from the subtle, smooth lines of the female form. This traditional vintage Dutch style retro bicycle with timeless traditional looks and flawless build quality is typically used as part of your everyday life. The classic Omafiets bicycle has been equipped with stainless steel rims and spokes ensuring that the bicycles is solid, durable and reliable.

Equipped with luxurious Brooks® leather saddle, Brooks® leather grips, and a Brooks® mud flap, ensures the perfect aged and elegant look of our Granny bicycle.

Enclosed Hub Gears

Enclosing the gears protects the machinery and the bicycle commuter from the weather, hence they involve much lower maintenance than the derailleur systems found on most bikes. Another advantage of internal gears is that they are very simple on the outside and come with a chain guard. This is a much cleaner option allowing you to ride in any clothing you choose rather than having to wear specialist cycle gear. Our classic Victoria bicycle is available with 3, 5 or 8 speed Sturmey Archer hub gears and fully enclosed Sturmey Archer hub drum brakes.

Upright bike comfort

Our Victoria Classic Dutch-style upright bikes comes with a traditionally lugged and brazed hand built frame, to give an upright and relaxed and ultra convenient riding posture – widely referred to as sit-up-and-beg style. This gives a high vantage point from which bike commuters can view the traffic, as well as making it easy to look behind you and soak in all of the sights and sounds of the village, town or city.

Fully equipped

Our Victoria classic upright bike is fully equipped and comes with mudguards, mud flap, skirt guards, chain guard, enclosed 3W dynamo driven head lamp AND dynamo driven rear lamp, a double stand, bell and a stock rear rack as standard equipment. The stock rear rack has a couple of unique features that stand out. One of them is the hook on the side of the rear rack for carrying your grocery bags and another feature is the spring loaded flap on top of the rear rack to hold things secure. This is especially nice for trips to the grocery as you can slide your empty grocery bags under the flap on the way there and then hang them on the side on the way home.
