RETROVELO History

The development of our RETROVELOs is influenced by the history of cruiser and mountain bikes, BMX, as well as track and messenger bikes. Today, they prove themselves in everyday use where technical finesse is a basic requirement, but where status and style are also paramount. These everyday qualities are difficult to achieve since it is not about going from A to B with an extremely light and expensive vehicle. We reconsider these demands and build bicycles for riders who set value on authentic originals. The uniqueness of RETROVELOs is our large amount of in-house development: we do not use mass production components, but have parts exclusively manufactured in small batches. From these components we built each bicycle to a harmonizing concept. The requirements of our riders meet our demands as manufacturers in a consistent design and material choice. All details of our bicycles are constantly tested through individual use by our riders and are updated continuously with their input.
