[...] a “younger” and more affordable version of the Velorbis Classic bikes (which I reviewed here). The differences are subtle – fewer gears, painted rims and no lights or leather [...]

Wow – what a beauty! I am very jealous! This bike would be my first pick if I were to choose. Thank you for this marvellous find!

Hi Mike, If I ever got my paws on one of your bikes, I'd have a hard time giving it back! Your Boston Roadster is def the best bike at an Amazing price (it's the Light Roadster I wanted but that was out of my budget - still a great price for the product, though). The Boston R is on my list of beautiful bicycles, but since I was so recently scooped by Bikes for the Rest of Us, I figured I'd hold off for a bit :)

My Boston Roadsters can compare to these bikes [$1,450 to $2,050.00], come in 6 sizes [mens and ladies] and can be had in 188 different colors!
I know that you all have promoted my bikes before [thanks], however have been called too exspensive? I feel my bikes are better built [made in USA] and better equipped too [comes with a front rack too].
if I could afford it I would send you one to try out!

Sincerely Mike Flanigan

That’s a gorgeous bike. I just bought a folding bike from Sears because it was affordable for me. I tried to buy a Dahon on ebay but that didn’t work out. The one I bought is a Jalon, which makes me giggle because it’s trying to be a Dahon. It’s a nice looking bike though and I don’t ride a real lot anyway. Just like to at least ride a few blocks every day for the exercise. Also, I can fold it up and bring it in to Boston on the nearby ferry or on the bus or train. I live is Salem, the witch city, a few miles north of Boston. I was inspired by Dottie and friends to buy one of these. : )

nice review. It sure is beautiful. I really want to test ride one someday. The red is hot. Makes me think that I do need a red bike. I go back and forth between bright reds or subtle green/blacks etc. Half of me is bright and crazy and the other half appreicates a simple elegant look. I want it all fun and stylish all at once.

Thanks, Dottie, that helps! It’s kind of what I thought just seeing how much it cost in British Pounds and roughly figuring the conversion. It is pricey but I agree that it’s worth it, so I’m not deterred yet ;)

Thanks for the great review and visit. Just an aside the Velorbis Dannebrog and Victoria Classic come in a larger frame…we just don’t have them in the shop yet (3-4 weeks) and they now have color matched red leather skirt guards for the Dannebrog!

Hope to see you again soon.

This bike costs somewhere between $1700 and $2000, I think, depending on whether you get the 3, 5, or 8 speed hub. I know that’s pretty pricey, but a bike like this will last a very, very long time and have little maintenance. My Azor Oma was $1550 and it took me a few months to get over the price tag and buy it. The Batavus Old Dutch is a less than both of them, closer to the $1000-1200 range, I believe. The Electra Amsterdam is well under $1000 but the quality is noticeably lower than these bikes.
