Achielle Craighton Pick-Up Crossbar
Gorgeous city bicycle. Handmade in Belgium. Classic Dutch look and superb quality. Exclusively at Rothar.
Achielle offers the classic Dutch bike as a "pickup" in a family-friendly cargo version. The highlight of this stepthrough bike is the front load carrier that is firmly connected to the fork. It creates additional storage space and provides more space, especially when used as a family bike, if a child seat is mounted at the back.
A typical Dutch bike - handcrafted in Flanders
Otherwise, the bike has all the characteristics of a typical Dutch bike. The sitting position is upright. The relatively wide tires from Schwalbe are available in several colors and with different but effective puncture protection in all cases. The slim, lugged steel frame is still manufactured by Achielle itself in Belgium. A rarity in Europe.
