Welcome !

We design and make bikes, for use for both travel and as a daily means of getting around. Our origins trace back to Sydney in the 1970s. 

If the design purpose of these bikes was only "getting around" and not for travel, then we would not have addressed the aspects of comfort, durability, longevity and serviceability as much as we have. However, these are great attributes for bikes for the everyday urban cyclist anyway. It is inconvenient to get punctures and have parts wear out, whether you are commuting or touring. You just want your bike to be comfortable, easy to control, and to work all the time. 

In addition to making bikes, we are advocate for travel on bikes. Traveling on a bike is an amazing experience. There is nothing "virtual" about it. You are out there waving to farmers, smelling the pine trees in mountain passes,  seeing the sun's glint in breaking surf, hearing the wind and the animals, sensing the human history, and being welcomed wherever you go. Clearly, you can't do anyone any harm.

You are so independent and free. Do a bit more every year and over a lifetime you stay fit and strong. You really will see the world. And you will make memories you will cherish forever.

This is a new site with a few bits still being built. We appreciate all feedback and contributions.
