Achielle Louise
- Achielle bikes are custom built - please follow this link to adjust specs, colours and price -
Gorgeous city bicycle. Handmade in Belgium. Classic Dutch look and superb quality. Exclusively at Rothar.
Louise is inspired by a typical Belgian bike. The elegant frame with two thin top tubes has been manufactured since the 1920s and was very popular until the late 1980s.
The rest of the bicycle also exudes classic elegance: by default fitted with leather hand grips and Brooks saddle, beige, black or brown tyres, shiny stainless steel rims, … For the sake of comfort, all this is combined with modern components such as a 3-speed or 8-speed hub, roller brakes and a hub dynamo (optional).
