Classic Bicycles

The Upright cycling comfort

Velorbis cycle collection gives you many choices in the genre of classic men’s and women’s bicycles. We have both simple classic bikes and the more luxurious models called Deluxe. Our bikes are designed in Denmark and manufactured in Germany. The Classic retro style cycles are all built in a traditional diamond-shaped design and comes with a traditionally lugged and brazed hand built frame, which ensures a relaxed and ultra posture-friendly cycling experience at all times – widely referred to as sit-up-and-beg style. Our Classic models all have a 300 mm high stem and a high rise on the handlebars. This design gives a high vantage point from which you can view the traffic, as well as making it easy to look behind you and soak in all of the sights and sounds of your surroundings as you cycle past. As an added bonus this riding position relaxes your lower back, head and shoulders, as you are not hunched over the handlebars.

DESCRIPTION

The Kopenhagen Classic is a quality bike that is manufactured in a lightweight steel frame. The steel pipes are assembled in beautiful and classic way that make the bike stronger and very beautiful to look at.

Bike frames with sleeves in Europe have been built for more than 100 years and this craft tradition is one of the cornerstones of Velorbis’ classic bike program. This is how to build a quality cycle.

Kopenhagen is our bid for a ‘classic’ men’s / lady’s bike and the model goes under many different names. It is called everyday bike, grandfather, retro bike or a tourist bike. With its timeless design, it still resembles the bikes that were designed and manufactured in the 1900s – it runs significantly better and is much easier than the old bikes.

This Danish-designed and German-produced quality bike is equipped with a wide range of components that can be used for everyday use and rustproof against the sometimes harsh Scandinavian weather.

Particularly with all Velorbis classic bicycles is the upright and comfortable driving position, which is a major advantage for the bike’s driving characteristics. Typically, the classic bike is for short trips (up to 30-40 km / h) and transportation to-and-from work, to the fun in the woods, to the business meeting or on a cafe-visit with friends!

The size and position of the height of the handle bar relative to the saddle prevent you from leaning over the frame when cycling, as with ordinary city bikes, racing bikes and mountain bikes. You relax completely in the back, shoulders and forearms when riding in an upright position, while at the same time viewing traffic, relaxing and 100% driving pleasure while cycling. Simply simple – a classic fun, funky, trendy and nostalgic bike at the same time ideal for intensive use – especially urban use.

Kopenhagen Classic comes with 1.3.7 gear.

If you also cycle a lot during the winter or after the sun has gone down and want integrated dynamo hub driven light, you can purchase built-in light system in the front wheel (+1000 DKK).

Maintenance free
Enclosing the gears inside the hub protects you and your bicycle from all types of 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. Drum brakes in front wheel prevents that brakes must be adjusted regularly. Puncture protection in all tires allow you to roll easily and prevents unpleasant punctures.

SERVICE

MAINTENANCE

A check up service of the bicycle implies that a bicycle mechanic adjusts, tightens and lubricates all moving parts.

After that, Velorbis advises that you maintain your bike periodically depending on how often and how far you drive. Below is a checklist for future service inspection:

Overview of recommended service review:

1. Inspection, to be performed no later than 2 months from date of purchase, includes the following: Adjustment, tension and lubrication of moving parts.

2. Service inspection that should be done approx. 1-2 times a year, includes the following: Adjustment of steering fittings, crankshaft, gears, front axles, lubrication of exterior moving parts and safety check of tire treads and tire pressure (tire pressure should be 3-4 bar), lights (test of wires or batteries) as well as general safety check of the rest of the bike.
