ABOUT A NEW GENERATION OF
MODERN TAKE ON BIKES
Velodio is the result of 2 creative minds and a frenchie. We’ve been tinkering with the Single-Speed/Fixed Gear idea for a while, ever since Dan kept expressing his creativity by building or restoring various themed bikes. A couple of friends also asked us to build or help them build some bikes, but for various reasons, things didn’t work out.
After Bumblebee saw the light of day, we seriously thought about spreading the idea, let other people experience and enjoy the whole process, from designing, choosing color and components, to actually building the bike.
In Winter of 2016, we started taking baby steps with developing the idea, what we needed, how and where. We wanted custom, right from the start, that included frame geometry and tubing, but that came with a challenge, as finding someone who could build frames for limited orders was tricky. We found someone which agreed to work with us, best part being that they use aircraft T7020 T6, double-butted aluminium, which is both light and highly durable.
With the help of close friends, we had our first orders, which were carefully designed accordingly to their taste, by Summer 2017, all of them were riding their creations.
