Frame

Size XS, frame weight: 3.5 kg
Size S/M and L/XL, frame weight (steel): 4 kg
Fork
Steel fork to absorb the small bumps in the road and keep you more comfortable as you ride.
Braking
Front and rear steel calliper V-brakes positioned under the frame, giving the bike a nice streamlined look.
Aluminium brake levers.
Handlebar / stem / steering
Classic Dutch-style steel handlebar, aluminium damper stem (22.2 diameter), height adjustable and can be set to a very comfortable upright position. Ergonomic grips for greater comfort when riding regularly; equipped with holders into which you can slide VIOO clips to keep you visible from the sides. A self-centring spring was added between the fork and the frame to help stabilize your bike with a loaded front rack or basket, while riding or parked.
Saddle/Seat post
Height-adjustable seat post (28.6 mm diameter), made of steel to more effectively absorb vibrations and provide a more comfortable ride. Wide saddle whose foam padding varies in hardness based on the pressure points between your bum and the saddle. Saddle is set at a 12° angle for greater comfort; welded in place for added safety. Lockable seat clamp (diameter: 31.8 mm) so opportunist thieves can't steal your saddle / seat post.
Visibility

Wheels
28" aluminium single-walled front and rear wheels, 36 spokes. The XS model has 26" wheels. Why these sizes?
Because it provides our users with the added comfort and rolling quality that a 28" wheel delivers. The front and rear wheels are tightened with bolts to discourage opportunistic theft.
To easily transport your bike in a vehicle, use a 15 mm wrench to remove the front wheel.
9 mm threaded front/rear wheel axles.
Tyres
Balloon-type tyres to smooth out lumps and bumps in the road and keep you more comfortable as you ride while providing better rolling.
The Schrader valves make the tyres easier to inflate, even at a garage.
Ideal tyre pressure is between 3.5 and 4 bar. 1 mm puncture-prevention nylon tyre liner built into the tyre tread.
XS tyres: Etrto 559-44 (26" x 1.75)

Care tips
To prevent punctures and to get the most out of your bike, check the tyre pressure every fortnight when you're using the bike daily, or before each ride if you only use it occasionally. Degrease and lubricate the chain as soon as dirt begins to accumulate. Wash the frame with soapy water; do not use a high pressure water jet.
Storage/transport tips
Store your bike in a dry, cool place. If riding near the sea, clean your bike regularly to protect it from salt damage.
Transporting the step-through frame bike on a boot bike rack may require an adapter bar.
Use restrictions
Not suitable for off-road use. As this Dutch bike has very wide handlebars, take care when riding along narrow passages indoors or outdoors.
