From the beginning we believe in bicycles that give you as much fun as they give us – in everyday use and leisure. That’s why each RETROVELO bicycle unites functionality, city chic and the individualism of its rider.

Its unique appearance states subtlety in form and function. Enjoying the ride becomes effortless when impeccable function is fully integrated in the design process. We ride these bicycles ourselves every day and have their components tested by respected institutions to continuously improve their performance. It is our goal to steadily refine our bicycles — to build stylish, reliable day-to-day companions.

We continue a long, locally based craftsman tradition that proposes an alternative future in times of industrial mass-production. Today more than ever, people want to have their memories, wishes and dreams fulfilled. As a small manufacturer based in Leipzig, Germany, RETROVELO stands for these wishes and values. Everything has its time, and time is our most important means for setting trends and seeing them outlived by our bicycles.
