The craft

Prepared at the workshop in Valby.

Every bicycle is dismantled, inspected and rebuilt. We replace worn parts, adjust gears and brakes and test-ride it before putting it up for sale.

Raleigh

Raleigh is one of the most iconic bicycle manufacturers in the world and has been delivering stylish, durable bicycles since 1887 that are still loved by cycling enthusiasts and everyday commuters alike. The bicycle brand has its roots in Nottingham, England, where the first models were hand-built with a focus on quality and detail.

Raleigh’s ultimate women’s bicycle

Raleigh’s women’s bicycles are known for their classic, elegant look, combining comfort and functionality. Raleigh’s classic models are created with great respect for the original drawings dating back to the 1920s, which have been carefully refined and updated over the years. A Raleigh women’s bicycle is perfect for both short city trips and longer bicycle rides where you want a combination of style and comfort.

What makes a Raleigh women’s bicycle unique is not just its timeless design, but also its craftsmanship. The older models were made from steel, providing a durability rarely seen in modern aluminium frames. Many Raleigh women’s bicycles have beautiful details such as original mudguards, leather saddles and classic handlebars, making them both elegant and comfortable. Raleigh has produced a wide range of models over the years, but the most iconic women’s bicycles date from the mid-20th century, when Raleigh truly established itself as one of the world’s leading bicycle manufacturers.

Raleigh’s classic city bicycles

Raleigh also has a long tradition of producing some of the best city bicycles. Many of their models are designed to work at their best in urban surroundings, where comfort, stability and reliability are important factors. Raleigh’s city bicycles are known for their strong frames and classic design, making them an obvious choice for commuters and city dwellers who want a bicycle that both looks good and works perfectly in everyday life.

One of the reasons why Raleigh’s city bicycles are so popular is their ability to combine aesthetics and function. Many of the classic models have an upright riding position that makes them comfortable to cycle on, even over longer distances. They are also often equipped with clever features such as hub gears, robust mudguards and luggage racks, making them suitable for everything from everyday shopping to longer bicycle rides through the city.

A Raleigh for everyone

Whether you are looking for a classic women’s bicycle, a robust men’s bicycle or a retro-inspired city bike, there is a Raleigh model to suit your needs. Raleigh’s wide range spans elegant vintage models and more modern interpretations of their classic designs. Many of their bicycles are hand-painted, giving them an exclusive finish and a special charm rarely found in mass-produced models.
