Also, the update loses the rear mounted, 'wraparound' handlebars for a conventional north road style set up. Not sure this improves the design, though probably makes it easier/more conventional to get on the bike. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4132#post-42944 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 11:32:58 +0000 DaveC 42944@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> Italian manufacturer Abici just launched their Velocino, a charming re-design of a bike first commissioned by Mussolini....."</p> <p>[Gasp] What next Cars commissioned by Hitler?? err... oh ...</p> <p>Looks good for doing wheelies on though! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4132#post-42942 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 11:24:04 +0000 amir 42942@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not very good with potholes? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4132#post-42939 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 11:07:43 +0000 SRD 42939@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>from the same website:<br /> <a href="http://inhabitat.com/bike-roundup-the-ultimate-guide-for-the-bicycle-enthusiast/" rel="nofollow">http://inhabitat.com/bike-roundup-the-ultimate-guide-for-the-bicycle-enthusiast/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4132#post-42938 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 11:05:35 +0000 SRD 42938@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://inhabitat.com/abici-launches-ultraportable-update-to-historic-italian-velocino-bicycle/">Abici Launches Ultraportable Update to Historic Italian Velocino Bicycle</a></p> <p>kinda cute! </p>
