1994 Retrotec:

Retrotec Nav Bar

The Retrotec bikes combined modern materials with the classic styling of the 1950's bikes.  They are very stylish without compromising performance.  These were designed by Bob Seals in the early 1990's and are still being produced today by Curtis Inglis.  We built this bike up with mostly period correct parts with an eye towards the black and white theme.

Very simple and elegant Breezer drop outs.

Neat internal cable routing.
