Think a city bike costs a small fortune? Not always. Indeed, these Hollander retro-styled bicycles at Made.com, are just £169 each.

There's a male and a female variation – see the male over the page. Both are similar though, with the single-speed bike boasting a leather (adjustable) saddle, steel frame, dynamo power for the retro lights, caliper brakes, stand and that staple of a vintage bike, a bell. It's also made by a company with over 60 years of bike-building experience too.

Like all Made.com products, they're made to order based on you getting in before a deadline. As I write, that deadline is just over two days away, so if you want one, get in now for that discounted price of £169, as opposed to the hgh street price of £539.

eBay watch: 1950s NSU Quickly 49cc motorised bicycle

Posted on | 4 Comments

Moto

Last week we featured a motorised bike from Raleigh, which proved really popular. Well, now we've found another – and we think this 1950s NSU Quickly motorised bicycle is even better.

A stunning vintage design, made in Germany back in 1958 and packed full of the retro curves that are so common in retro bicycle designs in the modern era.

According to the seller, it's a 'good runner', has a 49cc engine, two speeds and 'everything's original'. The only thing needed is a new speedo cable. Plenty of interest, but even allowing for that, the price is only at £215.55. See the eBay page for lots more images.

eBay watch: 1960s Raleigh RM6 motorised bicycle

Posted on | Leave a comment

Raleigh

If you fancy riding to work, but don't fancy the legwork, this 1960s Raleigh RM6 motorised bicycle could be for you.

Looking not unlike the many retro-styled bicycles we've featured on here in the past, the RM6 dates back to 1966 and according to the seller, is is 'exceptional condition for the year'. Beneath that vintage exterior lurks a 50cc engine, which should be nippy enough for town and city commuting, with a horn, lights and a newly-added rear carrier (not pictured) helping you along.

It's taxed and MOT'd, with the price right now at £50 should you fancy it for your commute.
