RETROVELO MILESTONES – Our In-House Developments

A RETROVELO proves its quality in everyday use where technical finesse is a basic requirement, but where status and style are also paramount. From this point of view, everyday qualities are more difficult to achieve since it is not only about going from A to B with an extremely light and expensive vehicle. We consider these demands and build bicycles for riders who value authentic originals. The uniqueness of an original RETROVELO is our large amount of in-house development. We built each bicycle to a harmonious whole. The requirements of our riders meet our demands as manufacturers in a consistent design and material choice. All details of our bicycles are constantly tested through individual use by our riders and are updated continuously with their input.
