VARA Stretched Cruiser

From the downhill cruises through San Francisco to circum-navigating the urban grids of Paris, Vara's presence is awe-inspiring. Elegance over exertion is the key. Incorporating aesthetics from classic British racing cars, vespa scooters and the surf culture, the end result is a stretched-out hybrid, exclusively sculpted by Vanguard Designs. Vara comes with 140-spoke rims and 24-inch x 3-inch hook worm tyres and coster brakes. It rides incredibly well, and is suitable for both guys and girls.

BOOGIE Low-glide Roadster ‘08
[Vintage Black]
n.6
If car-craft guru George Barris himself hammered and channeled a 26-inch bike, it wouldn't look any cooler than this 50s lead-sled inspired low-glider. With its low slung frame and raked-out triple-three fork, the roadster is a real curb hugger meant for raw speed. Its organic geometry, track bike configuration, thick tyres and rake angle are meant for a glide-y ride. Boogie is a timeless classic. It comes with 26-inch x 3-inch tyres, vintage leather seat, board-track handle bars and leather grips.

CALLIE Beach Cruiser
[Candy Pink]
n.14
Inspired by Vespas scooting along Costa Esmeralda and Huntington Beach, you can only imagine this opalescent candy pink cruiser with whitewalls in front of the yoga studio on Main Street, its flip-flop-wearing owner removing her mat from a wicker basket. This single speed ride is equipped with extra wide fenders, stainless steel spokes and coaster brakes.
sold
SUZY Beach Cruiser
n.17
Any two-wheeler can get you there. But you need something to set you apart from the masses who are all too willing to conform to the mould. So we set the wayback machine, borrowed from their past, stretched out the geometry and busted out some wooden rims and cork grips to fetch you admiring nods.

BUGS Speedway Roadster
[Matt Black]
Be it riding for leisure or as a necessity has been redefined. 'BUGS' the vintage 'Bobber' inspired board-track roadster is designed to go the distance. Simplicity is the key.

Its track bike configuration makes overtaking those damn buses easy. And when it hits upon tight corners, just hold steady and roll. Its wide tires also counters bumpy roads (double yellow lines) and compact sand efficiently.

It is also nicknamed ‘Dark Knight’ – to capture a fantastical experience of roaming the streets on a modern iron horse.
