WorkCycles Opafiets (Grandpa bike)
The simplest version frame for WorkCycles traditional Dutch city bikes - no nonsense looks but the same quality. Dutch men have been riding such elegant and practical bikes for a century. These are just the latest and best in a long evolution.
Each frame is hand-brazed, and then hand-built in any WorkCycles GT or Lux specification, extra-tough for decades of heavy service. Extensive use of stainless steel, special primer and powdercoat, reinforced wheels, and WorkCycles attention to detail. The WorkCycles Opafiets is not just another retro-fashion lookalike; It's a timeless utility vehicle made with modern materials and parts
