The Official Men's Bicycle of Art Nouveau
The birth of the modern mass-produced "safety bicycle"and the advent of pneumatic tires at the turn of the 20th century, sparked a transportation revolution. All at once the "every-man" had access to personal transportation. The Kruisframe is a modern eight-speed reminder of that very exuberant "Golden Age."
Our sturdiest bike with the most upright ergonomics, lowest stand-over height and most relaxed geometry. Also known as a "Pastorfiets" or "Preacher bike". Cross-tube frames are by far the most accomodating in fitting a wide variety of human shapes and sizes. Subtext reads: big dudes, you have found your ride.
Gents, I'm sorry...top hat not included.
