our Retrovision
Yesterday is today and today is tomorrow. For us, retro means a return to the true values not represented by the ever-present retro hype. Our design aesthetics do not have mass appeal, but are aimed at the niche market that values quality and beauty. We continue a long, locally based craftsman tradition that proposes an alternative future in times of industrial mass-production. Today more than ever, people want to have their memories, wishes and dreams fulfilled. As a small manufacturer based in Leipzig, Germany, RETROVELO stands for these wishes and values. Everything has its time, and time is our most important means for setting trends and seeing them outlived by our bicycles. Matthias Mehlert ~ Frank Patitz

A digital watch, even with an analogue dial, maybe very innovative and precise but it definitely lacks a certain sense of time. A similar comparison is compact discs and vinyl records. Vinyl records still spin for true enthusiasts as do RETROVELOs. A RETROVELO is not only the sum of its technology, but an attitude and belief in beautiful bicycles for everyday life. As your fast friend it joins you on Sunday morning trips to the bakery, as well as on your Monday morning commute. You can always enjoy and take pride in your favorite paint job or the humming of your RETROVELO tires, but to get through your daily grind it takes much more: we use only technology proven to work reliably and over the long term. Our wheelsets are hand built, and we developed the FAT FRANK balloon tire exclusively with SCHWALBE to smooth out bumpy roads, curbs and streetcar rails.
