Electra Ticino

Beautiful doesn’t begin to describe this bike.
Built with a selection of custom built retro styled components, polished until they glow, and finished with fine details like hammered alloy fenders and stainless cable housing, this is a bike for bike lovers.
Built with Electra’s Flat Foot Technology which allows for proper leg extension without having the saddle so high you can’t get a foot down this is a great bike for the casual rider who wants the elegance on a European bike with a unique  style on their ride.

Late last year, Electra bikes were getting pretty hard to find. The 2010 Electra range is starting to arrive in the country. The first to come in is the Amsterdam Original 3i men’s.
