The Olivia (and its brother the Oscar) are what European city bikes want to be when they grow up. The modern Gates carbon belt drive provides maintenance-free, uncompromising power to the 8-speed Alfine hub, and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes allow you to ride as fast as you like and still be confident in your stopping power. The Olivia has sleek and modern dynamo lighting on the front fork and built into the rear fender, with daytime running lights and 70 LUX illumination for dark nighttime rides. A handmade steel frame offers comfort on rough roads and the matte powder-coated paint will withstand the stormiest, saltiest coastal weather. The bike is crowned with a Brooks saddle and sleek looks that will turn heads.
If you want the classiest looks with the most modern sensibility, you've found it in the Achielle Olivia.
