Bertelli Bicycles
January 8, 2010 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Design & Transportation
I know, I just posted about really expensive speakers and now I’m posting about $1600 bicycles. What can I say, I like fancy things? Anyhow, the bike you see above is from a company called Bertelli that makes one-of-a-kind bicycles, all hand made by an Italian guy named Francesco. The bikes are put together in New York but the pieces they’re made up of are from all over the world, bits and pieces of new and old merged into one. No matter what though, no one in the world is going to have a bike exactly like yours.
The one you see above is my absolute favorite thouhg. It’s called Domenica and features a Viking frame, a black Brooks saddle, vintage white MIchelin tires and my favorite part, a rare Titan stem (handlebars) frome the 60′s. The handlebars are definitely what make me want this bike.
Be sure to check out the rest of his designs as well, they’re all beautiful and drool worthy.

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.Actually, those handlebars are from Adam Brackney also known as Workerman.

We asked Francesco Bertelli the man behind the bikes a couple of questions here: http://www.boutiquecycles.com/news/comments/francesco_bertelli/
Love the bikes, thanks for the link!
I’m an avid reader of your blog so don’t take this the wrong way but you have a slight typo with “though” in the first sentence of the second paragraph!
Hehehe, $1600 is not expensive for a bike. On top of that, this guy is just building up stock frames in pretty ways… Just like you could have done at any good bike shop.
