Please choose UPS $10 Ground Shipping at checkout.
These days, there aren’t many steel step-thru frames left that can claim such vintage looks with such practical appointments as the Bassi Rachel. A perfect balance is struck here with the romantic vintage lines we all have etched in our memory, paired with ample frame clearance for comfortable chubby rubber and rim-squishing v-brakes. Quite a combination.
So many times we’ve tried to cram larger tires into vintage mixte frames, resulting in frowns and, heavy on the compromise… with the Rachel there is nary a care or concern in the air.
Rarin’ to ramble on asphalt or gravely terrain alike, this low-kicker is thoughtfully designed for variety.
Attach your favorite rack, basket, or even fenders to this belle, and you’ve got a hyper-sensible, yet highly attractive transportation option, ready to gorgeously perform.
