Budnitz Bicyles - handmade titanium belt drive bicycles

Paul Budnitz began creating titanium bicycles for his own use in 2002. Almost immediately people began stopping him on the street to ask where they could buy a bicycle just like the one he was riding. 8 years later Budnitz Bicycles was founded with the mission of offering top-end bicycles for daily use. Since then the small company based out of Burlington, Vermont creates the fastest, lightest, and most beautiful city bicycles in the world. Working exclusively in titanium and cro-moly steel the company claims, their handmade bicycles last a lifetime and are a blast to ride - which is not hard to believe when looking at these stunning pieces of design and craftsmanship. All bicycles feature top-end components, the majority developed for bike racing by small boutique fabricators in the USA, Europe & Japan.

Bella Ciao - Handcrafted bicycles blending Italian elegance with German engineering

'The single-speed commuter bicycle from Bella Ciao is handcrafted in a retro minimalist design. The racing stem and handlebars bring the Ingegnere rider into the ideal position: elegant and upright, yet charged with responsive tension.' Bella Ciao relies on authentic Italian craftsmanship to construct the steel foundation work of its bicycle line. Every frame is handcrafted by a family-run workshop located on the outskirts of Milan. Once the steel frames are finished in Italy, they’re shipped to the town of Niemegk for a triple-coat finish of paint, and at no small expense, as paint technicians work by hand to apply the surface treatments. The final step in the Bella Ciao production process happens in the German town of Möckern, where a three-person team outfits the finished frames with a mixed bag of top-of-the-line parts.'
