Welcome !
We design and make bicycles, for use for both travel and as a daily means of getting around. Our origins trace back to Sydney in the 1970s.
If the design purpose of these bikes was only "getting around" and not travel, then we would not have addressed the aspects of comfort, durability, longevity and serviceability nearly as much as we have. Anyway, these are great bike attributes for most of us, who, even if annual tourers, mostly are everyday urban cyclists. It is inconvenient to get punctures and have parts wear out, whether you are commuting or touring. You just want your bike to be comfortable, practical, easy to control, and to work 24/7. The features we emphasise are especially relevant to bikes that are used a lot, such as when it is the prime means of transport.
In addition to making bikes, we are advocates of travel on bikes. Travelling on a bike is an amazing experience. In this "virtual" age, your experience is real. You are out there waving to farmers who are waving back. You are smelling the pine trees in mountain passes, and seeing the sun's glint on the breaking surf. An eagle, circling up high, watches you. A horse in a paddock runs alongside you.
Wherever you go, you are welcomed. Everyone knows that you can't do any harm.
You are so independent and free. Do a bit more every year and over a lifetime you stay fit and strong. You really do see the world. And you make memories you will cherish forever.
