Bertelli Bici

2

Bici is the italian slang for bike/bikes.Every bertelli bicycle is a unique design object that you won’t find in any store in new york city.Every part is assembled by hand, finished and fine-tuned by me, francesco.All my bikes are track bikes and fixed gear only (with the excepton of some coaster-brake builds).I combine brand new parts with “new old stock” and vintage parts found at flea markets, old bikeshops, collectors and from my trustworthy suppliers.The final result is that you won’t find exactly the same combination in any other bicycle out there. And your bicycle will be unique.

pure, clean,old-fashiontrack bikes.

The starting price for a complete track bike is $1500 USD.The price includes all the installation and the fine-tuning of the bicycle.

the starting price includes a mix of good used, vintage, brand new and nos components. the quality of the vintage and used parts and the brand new components, determines the price that may vary and increase.

If you contact me i will give more details and we can discuss to find the good balance

pure, clean,old-fashiontrack bikes.

between budget and quality.every bike is a design project. is not just buying a bike.moreover, Please remember that every bike is tested and will be ridden for one day (around my NEIGHBORHOOD ;) before I will give it to you.

You will never buy from me a bike with loose bolts or wrong settings.

I currently don’t build road, multispeed or single speed or cruiser bicycles.just pure, clean, old-fashion track bikes.
