Item Description

Pair of Linus Bikes

Inspired by French bicycle design of the 50s and 60s we have created a bicycle that preserves the simple elegance and pure form of that golden era, but has all the benefits of modern comfort and reliability. LINUS is the utilitarian city bike… simple and reliable, but with a personality and style that makes you feel like you’re in an old French movie… you’re floating a little from the wine you drank at lunch… maybe instead of going back to the office you’ll take a nap under a tree, go for a swim in the sea or drop by your lover’s house…

At Linus we see bicycles not only for recreation and sport, but as a legitimate form of transportation. In our every day life we take numerous little journeys, under 5 miles…. to the store, the cafe, to work, etc. Besides the obvious joy of riding a bicycle, these small bicycle trips reduce carbon emissions, congestion, noise pollution, and make for a happier, more connected city experience.

That’s LINUS… a simple, affordable, elegant bike for riding around and doing stuff.

Dutchi 3 Sage Ladies Bike: Simple Style, Remarkable Fun

The Dutchi offers classic (you guessed it...) Dutch style, totally upright comfort, and legendary Linus durability in a lighter, quicker package. The graceful frame swoops into a deep step-through for the easiest mount and dismount, and even permits riding with a long skirt! The sleek, color-matched chain guard protects your clothing, while the Shimano internally geared hub's durability protects you from bike shop visits. Although the Dutchi's first priority is rider comfort, the fast-rolling wheels and efficient drivetrain it shares with the rest of the line make it a contender even for longer commutes. 

FEATURES

  • While the Dutchi has the lowest standover and highest handlebars of any Linus, the same construction and components make it equally quick and fun to ride
  • Quality Shimano Nexus hub and Tektro 365 brakes provide quick, positive shifting and braking
  • Light yet robust double walled alloy rims and cartridge bearing front hub keep things rolling smooth and straight
  • Sturdy custom aluminum rack and kickstand included
  • We love to put Antique Brown Brooks saddles on these bikes, they look great with the stock grips
  • Retail value: $599.00
  • Size medium
